Navigating staff turnover: turning transitions into opportunities for growth

Interactive Webinar – November 8, 2024

Staff turnover is inevitable, yet it can be managed in a such way that it not only mitigates the challenges, but also leverages such transitions as opportunities for institutional growth and renewal.

Such an approach underscores a proactive way to address staff leaving the university, focusing on strategies for retaining their knowledge, maintaining positive relationships with departing staff, and using these transitions to drive innovation and strategic realignment within the university.

The webinar will discuss good practices in universities; it will also touch upon issues relating to exit strategies, conflict management, workforce needs’ analysis and recruitment plans. The two main keynotes will focus on:

  • Strategic leadership and governance in times of transition
  • Retention and induction strategies in higher education
