HR Care Package — Resources for Self-Care
For HR, most of 2020 was spent adapting to the new world of work all while taking on hefty workloads to ensure our institutions continued to run smoothly during the pandemic. This constant cycle of challenging work pushed our mental health to its limits. As we step into a new year, let’s take time to step back from the habits we may have developed in 2020 that were not beneficial to our mental health and well-being. Below, we’ve curated a list of resources that nudge higher ed HR professionals to take stock of their own mental health and well-being so that they can continue to support those they serve at their institutions.
