Perspectives: Here come the holidaze

How HR teams can balance holiday cheer and workplace stressors.

Starting mid-November in the U.S., our minds naturally shift towards our favorite recipes, buying flights home, family reunions, and kids’ vacation from school… all while the work continues to pile up. Holidays sound delightful, they’re not always joyous for every worker. So how can HR leaders and teams help workers walk the tightrope between end of year productivity and the opportunity to rest. 

Join us to learn: 

  • Discover the natural work/life stressors that often accompany the holiday season
  • Identify ways to be proactive around workers’ heightened holiday stress
  • Learn how to simultaneously balance the need to lean in and step back 
  • Recognize how your culture may be supporting, or undermining, unplugging

Bonus for our live attendees… tune in live for 1 HRCI and 1 SHRM credit!
