Navigating Uncertainty: HR, Culture, and Communication in Tough Times
Event Details
This webinar is offered in partnership with Common Good Vermont.
Vermont’s nonprofits are facing tough decisions—funding shifts, program reductions, and potential staffing changes. This session offers nonprofit leaders and HR practitioners hands-on practical guidance on supporting organizations, culture, and teams with transparency and empathy during uncertain times. Learn how to communicate funding realities and potential changes without creating fear, uphold your organizational values during times of stress, and approach layoffs or restructuring with dignity and care.
We’ll explore compassionate offboarding, sustaining culture, and maintaining team morale through transitions.
The session includes a brief panel featuring perspectives from an HR practitioner and union representative. Together with the trainer, they’ll share real-world perspectives, practical tools, and strategies to help you lead with confidence, clarity, and compassion.
