Navigating Transitions at Work
About This Course
Today’s employment landscape is turbulent. New technologies, economic trends, and events like the COVID pandemic have altered our relationship to daily work, and the average person can expect to hold many jobs across a lifetime. Given these circumstances, employees need to become sensitive to new ways of thinking and doing at work. This course will cover strategies to meet the challenges associated with experiencing a workplace transition, including how to adapt to new roles and organizations and how to understand more deeply the meaning of work in our lives. Based on frameworks developed in research and practice, the reflection-oriented sessions will prompt participants to engage in discussion and introspection. The course was co-developed by a team from the Singapore Institute of Management with Project Zero of the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
