Higher education is in constant flux, from budget cuts to program eliminations, mergers and leadership turnover. HR professionals are often significantly involved in managing the human fallout of change, as well as helping managers navigate what looks like resistance or disengagement that quietly erodes retention and morale. But much of that behavior isn’t resistance at all — it’s unacknowledged grief and burnout, and traditional change management consistently misreads it. This webinar will help you accurately diagnose what’s really happening during loss-driven change and respond in ways that protect engagement and retention. You’ll learn to:
- Distinguish hidden grief and burnout from behavioral resistance (and help leaders do the same)
- Recognize three common leadership responses that quietly make things worse
- Apply a grief- and burnout-informed communication approach you can use immediately
You’ll leave with diagnostic tools, communication scripts and a practical action plan you can adapt to any institution type and put to work right away.
