The COVID-19 pandemic taught us that post-disruption fatigue is real, and many of the lessons that came from the pandemic can be applied to future change. The talent development function can lead efforts to help the organization, and everyone in it, reset and recharge after major changes.
This webinar will present practical ideas and powerful stories about how talent development leaders can build their people’s ability to thrive. Attendees will learn how to make recharging part of their vision, proactively seek recovery, and build a plan for change based on what they’ve learned.
