AGENDA

2:00 – 2:40 PM
Panel
Fatigue Management: Addressing Change During Times of Uncertainty

When employees face a barrage of updates, shifting priorities, or new directives, this leads to ‘change fatigue,’ where motivation drops and engagement declines. This panel brings together communications professionals and mental health experts in a session that explains how to identify and mitigate fatigue, ensuring a healthier, more resilient workforce. Hear real-world examples of how communication teams collaborate with thought leaders to successfully navigate transformations without sacrificing morale or productivity. You’ll learn: 

  • Early detection: The tools and tactics you need to spot signs of fatigue—from frustration to resistance—and the proactive ways to address them.
  • Collaborative solutions: How to partner with thought leaders across the organization, not just on the executive level, to craft messaging that drives engagement. 
  • Leadership alignment: Communication tips on how to bring ‘change fatigue’ to the forefront with executive leadership teams.
