Your Wellbeing Matters: Sustaining a High Performance Team

Join us for the AHEPPP Institute: Crisis Communications & Best Practices on Monday, November 8 | 12 PM - 5 PM EST

The demands of working in higher education have increased exponentially as the world continues to navigate a global pandemic. The pressure to produce dynamic work at an increased volume during this time begs the question: how do we create a culture of care for ourselves and our colleagues while managing fast-paced work cultures and ever-evolving responsibilities? During this institute, attendees will learn why prioritizing healthy boundaries, expectations and personal wellness are vital to establishing a high-performing team. We will explore the correlation between concepts like self-care and self-efficacy, and understand why we can’t successfully meet the needs of our constituents without first meeting our own needs. Attendees will be able to identify strengths and areas for growth within their own organizations, and apply tangible steps to boosting team morale and performance. This session is completely virtual. 

This institute is for you if are a manager seeking:

• to implement healthy and effective strategies for encouraging your team toward optimal performance
• to identify the factors that influence team burnout and how to respond proactively
• to understand the correlation between personal wellness and team performance
