A 6-Hour Training with Scott Meyer, MSW, Ph.D

Virtual via Zoom | 8:30am-4:00pm

Presentation: Managing different types of organizational change poses unique challenges and opportunities for administrators, supervisors and staff. This presentation will be based on organizational research and change management approaches actively utilized in health, education and human service agencies in public, for-profit and non-profit workplace sectors. Issues addressed include intra and inter-organizational communication, employee empowerment and motivational techniques, team building behaviors, and cultivation of an agency climate and culture that can both forecast and adapt well to change. Participants will gain knowledge about the use of reflective practice skills to effectively and efficiently accomplish the organizational mission and goals. This workshop will equip attendees with powerful tools for manager and staff approaches to maximize healthy outcomes during times of great uncertainty and rapid changes within an agency.

As a result of this training, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify best practices for developing an organizational culture which is able to forecast and effectively respond to internal and external environmental changes;
  2. Demonstrate knowledge and explain techniques to enhance intra and inter-organizational communication during times of change; and
  3. Describe how the use of reflective practice skills can be used as a tool for prevention and remediation of maladaptive manager and employee responses to organizational changes.
