When Everything is Urgent: HR Strategies for Workforce Resilience During Turbulent Times

About the Event

We’d all like to leave work at the office when we log out, or even better, not let the woes of daycare scheduling mishaps and the latest news cycle follow us into team meetings. Yet the ability to compartmentalize seems more and more like a myth as financial stress, family responsibilities, social pressures, and global uncertainties stick with us like our emotional support water bottle – and everything feels urgent.

Burnout has evolved beyond just workload. Instead, it's impacted by being in crisis mode at all times both personally and professionally. What does this mean for HR’s approach to building a resilient workforce?

Join HR Brew and industry experts in workplace psychology and employee management to better understand both the psychological impacts of perpetual urgency and the business management strategies that are helping to combat crisis mode.

Here’s what you can expect us to cover:

1. The neuroscience of being “always on.” Unpack how external stressors make everything feel urgent at work and how chronic stress from outside factors can rewire our threat detection, impacting our ability to prioritize effectively.
2. The business impacts of burnout. We’ll discuss the ripple effects burnout has on individuals, their teams, and beyond to better understand why addressing burnout before it happens is critical.
3. Building organizational shock absorbers for proactive resilience. Hear from HR experts about the workplace structures, policies, and cultures that help weather external storms as a constant defense against burnout including actionable tools for managers and teams can implement today.
