Leadership in Challenging Times: Supporting Staff Wellness, Satisfaction, & Workplace Efficiency

How do Student Affairs professionals balance growing demands on their time, energy, and resources which can negatively impact their own personal wellness, self-care, and ultimately, their satisfaction in their profession? Effective leaders help staff feel supported and valued—even in the most challenging times. This session is specifically dedicated to a discussion of ways in which leaders can enact practices to help their staff—and themselves—establish and maintain personal and professional boundaries, work/life balance, general wellness, and professional fulfillment. These practices ultimately benefit not only staff, but students, departments, and institutions, in both the short and long term.
