Description

Why Managing People Feels Harder Than Ever

Today’s small and midsize employers are navigating a workplace environment that feels increasingly complex. Supervisors and managers are being asked to balance operational demands, employee expectations, retention pressures, hiring challenges, and constant communication issues — often with little formal leadership training or support. At the same time, many organizations are experiencing growing frustration around accountability, engagement, resilience, and changing workplace expectations.
Join us for an interactive HR roundtable discussion as we explore the growing pressures facing managers and operational leaders in today’s workplace, including:

Leadership burnout and supervisor fatigue
The changing expectations of employees and employers
Hiring and retention frustrations in a shifting labor market
Communication challenges and conflict avoidance
The operational impact of weak or overwhelmed management
Practical strategies for strengthening leadership and workplace culture

Attendees will leave with practical ideas, peer perspectives, and actionable strategies to better support managers, improve communication and accountability, strengthen employee engagement, and navigate today’s evolving workplace challenges with greater confidence and effectiveness.

Our thanks to Univest for sponsoring the HR Roundtables series in 2026. These informal discussions focus on pertinent issues that affect today's workplace. Light breakfast provided.
