Adapting to change in challenging times

Leaders find themselves caught in a delicate balancing act between the urgency of change and the constraints of shrinking budgets. How can People Managers strategically collaborate with leadership to champion a culture of adaptability? Delve into the details in our blog:

'Shifting Sands, Solid Foundation: HR's Blueprint for Change Resilience '

With budgets tightening and resources scarce, organisations must confront the question of how far they should go to reshape the future of work. The delicate balancing act involves recognising that sacrifices may be necessary, but these sacrifices should not come at the expense of employee wellbeing.

Check out our Resilience Check-in , designed to enhance personal and professional wellbeing. Our approach goes beyond the conventional check-in, incorporating various resilience models such as the renowned PERMA model and the ABCD resilience framework.
