Healthy Employer and Employee Responses to COVID 19
Free Recorded Webinar
The COVID-19 pandemic surely is the most daunting organizational challenge managers, HR, wellness and OHS professionals, and employees have ever faced. It has turned day-to-day work practices upside down, threatening the survival of some businesses, and generating pervasive fear and insecurity across the workforce. In this recorded webinar, three workplace experts discuss how available evidence-based resources, practices and tools can be readily adapted to help organizations and individual employees find their way through this open-ended crisis.
The presenters take a realistic look at what can you do today that will foster the personal and team psychological and social skills needed to position your organization for where you want to be a year from now.
