Healthcare HR professionals continue to navigate a mix of pressures from organization-wide burnout, expanding spans of control, shifting job designs, remote or centralized models, limited resources, and rising expectations from leaders and staff alike. At the same time, many HR teams experience their own isolation, emotional load, and “always on” demands. This member-exclusive roundtable creates space for candid conversation about the realities you and your peers are facing. Together, we’ll explore:

• What burnout, stress, and role strain look like across different HR functions.
• How expectations of HR have evolved and where they may be misaligned.
• What support mechanisms and coping strategies are helping and where gaps remain.
• How leadership dynamics, job design, and organizational structure contribute to current challenges.

This will be an interactive, discussion-driven session* designed to elevate the voices and experiences of ASHHRA members. Insights gathered in Part 1 will directly shape Part 2 in June, where invited presenters will share best practices, innovative models, and real-world examples of what’s working in organizations today. Come ready to share, listen, learn, and contribute to a meaningful conversation about the future of our profession.

*The roundtable will take place on Zoom. Cameras are optional, and attendees may unmute anytime to participate in the dialogue.
