West Georgia SHRM Chapter

06/02/2024

As we close out the month of May, we would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Nick Griffin for providing his insights on supporting employee stress management.

Dr. Griffin shared with our team some of his tried and true strategies for supporting the holistic needs of the colleagues and students that he works with in Troup County; and, leading teams through personal change and growth journeys. From him, we learned how to better leverage the relationships between industry, education, and community to create healthful outcomes for all.

Thank you again Dr. Griffin and we look forward to seeing our attendees and members at the penultimate Spring Stress series meeting in June. Please stay tuned for those details in the coming week!
