ABOUT THIS ONLINE WORKSHOP
Cultivating Organizational Resilience is essential in order to not only get through COVID-19, but to make your school stronger than ever. Organizations that struggle with qualities of resilience will experience a lasting fallout from the pandemic, including higher rates of turnover of employees and families, increased escalations, and loss of productivity. The results of See Change Consulting’s research study on qualities of Organizational Resilience in Independent Schools (which included several Bay Area and Southern California Schools) provides key strategies and insights into areas of focus for the coming year. Focusing on Organizational Resilience will support schools in retention of families and employees, growth and innovation, and alignment of DEI work and pandemic recovery.
In this workshop participants will:
- Review the pillars of Organizational Resilience
- Explore the findings and implications of the Research Study, including the relationships between Organizational Resilience and DEI work
- Examine the relationship between neuroscience and resilience
- Gain insight into concrete recommendations that schools can take now and in the coming months to support Organizational Resilience
- Develop concrete action steps to bring back and implement at their school sites
