PRESENTATION SUMMARY
Are your HR teams drowning in routine and struggling to thrive?
It's time to embrace CHAOS: Control Havoc – Achieve Operational Success, by implementing strategic approaches to manage peak workloads and foster a more sustainable environment.
October is HR’s battlefield: open enrollment chaos, year-end galas, and “holiday joy” that HR often gets to plan, not enjoy. It’s no wonder HR professionals are burning out while carrying the emotional weight of an entire workforce.
This isn’t another watered-down wellness chat. This is a tactical session designed to expose and eliminate the real causes of burnout that most HR teams unintentionally reinforce - and give attendees actionable tools to break the cycle.
Bonus: We'll laugh through the chaos, because HR deserves humor and solutions.
