Presentation Overview:

A few years ago, Rick served as the Human Resources Lead on a significant project in the health care sector in British Columbia that involved the opening of two new hospitals in neighboring communities, one month apart. To add to the complexity, one of the hospitals would be staffed entirely by employees of an affiliate hospital who would transfer to the health authority as part of this initiative. This transition required extensive consultation and negotiation with hospital leadership, as well as a diverse employee population represented by multiple unions.

In this presentation, Rick will provide an overview of the project from a human resource and change leadership lens, including reflections on key successes, mistakes made, and lessons learned, while also connecting this experience to leadership theories and best practices taught through Executive Education programming, with a particular focus on the importance of monitoring personal wellness when leading through organizational changes.

 

Presentation Learning Objective:

• Review the Six Leadership Styles model including appropriate uses of each style
• Discuss the importance of maintaining personal wellness and review a wellness model, as well as review the need to monitor the wellness of others during times of significant organizational change
• Review key factors in employee engagement and labour relations to help successfully drive organizational change projects
