How HR Leaders Can Better Support Employees with Brian Hughes, First Onsite

Following two years of the pandemic and now a war in Ukraine, overwhelming feelings of distress have many people worrying about what’s next.

Doomscrolling through social media feeds without pause has become a compulsive and comforting ritual for many. As many of us in the US, Canada, and elsewhere return to the office and resume 'business as usual', leaders need to be attuned to how their employees are being impacted by this "the sky is falling” feeling that can be overwhelming.

Brian Hughes, the VP of Human Resources at First Onsite, is one leader who has found success by making empathy and wellbeing top priorities throughout the years.

Listen and learn how Brian has been able to counter uncertain times with communication and wellness tools and, by doing so, positively affecting his workforce’s resilience levels.
