A stressful or traumatic event goes beyond the typical day-to-day challenges of life. These events may look like a threat to one’s safety, the death of a loved one, world events such as wars, gun violence in one’s community, or legislation affecting one’s lifestyle and choices.

Following stressful events, organizations often face the difficult task of empathetically communicating while taking the proper steps to promote employee well-being. All too often, people teams and managers are on the frontline supporting impacted employees.

Join Carrot Fertility’s Chief Human Resource Officer, Leslie Neitzel, and Modern Health's Chief People Officer, Maureen Calabrese, as they discuss how organizations can best support employees to be resilient before, during, and after stressful events.

You'll walk away with the following:
  • How organizational leaders and managers can navigate stressful events with empathy and compassion
  • Key considerations when communicating in the wake of a stressful event, whether internally or externally
  • Actionable tips for Benefits Leaders to create holistic well-being programs for their global workforces and discussion on how a holistic well-being program can support employees and their dependents
We'll leave time for Q&A, and you can send your questions in advance to [email protected].

This webinar is pre-approved for .75 SHRM and HRCI recertification credits.
