Description

Covid-19 and the resulting disruption to the world is probably going to be the biggest change many of us will see in our lifetime.

Human beings often resist change in the best of circumstances. When change is unwelcomed or unplanned many people become stressed and upset. In the last few months, we have seen many people who have become overwhelmed and immensely stressed by all the changes that have taken place in a small space of time. This has left many managers and HR professionals feeling overwhelmed as they try to manage staff and customers who struggle with change.

This webinar will look at how to support business owners, staff and customers through times of change and uncertainty.

You will learn what factors help people cope with and thrive during change. It is based on almost fifty years of psychological research in this area.

The principles in this webinar can be applied to any sized business, with changes either large or small.

• Understand why unexpected change is particularly stressful.
