Supporting employees through change: Advice for HR and people leaders

Did you know? A recent Gartner* report found that 74% of HR leaders say managers aren’t equipped to lead change and 73% agreed that employees are already fatigued by it. When people feel change fatigue, they’re less engaged, less likely to stay, and less likely to feel psychologically safe at work. 

You and your members are invited to join our free webinar on 9 October, please share this invitation with them. Our experts will explore how employees respond differently to change, share practical advice for communicating change effectively and keeping employees engaged during times of transition.
