The not-for-profit sector in Australia is undergoing a period of unprecedented change. From government funding cuts to sector-wide restructures and government pressure for mergers, managing change is something virtually unavoidable for NFP leaders and HR professionals.

So how can you not only cope, but thrive, in this environment of limited resources and constant change?

The hardest part of any change process is leading people down what can be a long and arduous path.

Not-For-Profit People is delighted to present three breakfast events in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane on 5, 6 and 7 May, focused on learning valuable ways to better manage change in your organisation, and keeping people engaged throughout the process.

What you’ll learn

Presented by frontline leadership expert and former human resources practitioner, Karen Schmidt from Let’s Grow!, you’ll learn:

• The five reasons why change programs go wrong;
• A simple model for recognising when people are disengaging during change, and the practical steps you can take to maintain engagement;
• The essential conversation managers need to learn how to have if they want change to succeed;
• How to create a culture that is change friendly and change ready.

The events are sure to generate fascinating discussions, as well as being a great chance to network with other leaders, managers and HR professionals from the not-for-profit sector.
