The impact of COVID-19 has heightened the need for effective leadership and management due to its widespread impact on mental health and the economic necessity to have engaged employees to support business continuity and success.

Collectively, COVID-19 illness and safety measures have affected over 2 billion people worldwide, yet different individuals have different experiences due to circumstances and personality. Employers need to understand this as they manage individuals on their teams, regardless of whether they are working from home or on-site and regardless whether they continued to work throughout the pandemic or are returning from temporary lay-offs.

In this webinar we will discuss:

-understanding mental health and the unique challenges of COVID-19
-the importance of the workplace in our employees’ lives
-implications for leaders and managers
-effective people strategies for resilience and organizational success in the face of uncertainty

Audience: Nonprofit leaders who want to better support their staff and volunteers during these uncertain times.
