Wednesday, May 8 | 9:45a – 10:45a | Winslow Homer
Many universities are under pressure to increase research funding, and this has caused an increase in workload and demand on the current research administration workforce structure. This session will focus on how to re-org the current team structure to effectively manage the increased workload to limit burnout and staff turnover while providing excellent customer service support in a remote environment.
Learning Objectives
Learn how to identify when it might be necessary to make a structural change, what data you’ll need to make an informed decision, how to build buy-in for the change, and how to successfully implement a reorganization or restructuring.
