Participants will leave with actionable strategies to improve sustainability, efficiency, and staff well-being.
Outcomes of this workshop:
- Map workforce capacity to institutional goals using strategic planning tools.
- Implement resource allocation techniques to balance strategic and operational demands.
- Design actionable strategies to promote sustainability and prevent team burnout.
