Emerging Stronger:
Burnout, Re-opening Workplaces and the Evolution of Culture

Today’s HR Professionals are faced with the constant demands of a disrupted world of work. More than a year into a global pandemic, businesses are returning their focus to more pervasive workplace issues that are having immediate impact on employee wellbeing, engagement, and organizational performance. This Summer Conference aims to address some of the biggest issues facing organizations today and equip HR professionals to help lead their workplaces into the future.

BURNOUT

The World Health Organization now recognizes “burnout” as an occupational phenomenon. The syndrome is included in the agency’s handbook of medical diagnoses, which guides health professionals around the world.

Burnout can cost Ontario businesses millions of dollars each year in increased medical costs, and lost productivity. During COVID-19 the risk of burnout in employees has been exacerbated by blurred work/life divisions, and greater physical and emotional demands on essential workers. HR Professionals will learn how their organizations can prevent and manage burnout and identify and respond to it quickly if it does happen.

RE-OPENING WORKPLACES

HR Professionals are being tasked to develop fair, safe and compliant policies and practices to prepare their organizations and its leaders to reopen the workplace. Vaccinations, masking, occupancy restrictions, work refusals, and more. There is much to consider and prepare for, and even more questions being asked. HR Professionals will benefit from expertise on policy development, and legal and ethical considerations to help prepare their organizations to reopen workplaces in a safe and responsible way.

EVOLUTION OF CULTURE

Culture has emerged during the pandemic as critically important to organizational sustainability, resilience, and adaptability. Lily Zheng said at the HRPA 2021 Annual Conference that “trust is the currency of change in organizations.” And what organization hasn’t undergone massive change in the last year?
