Webinar Roundtable (Member Exclusive): The Hidden Load of Healthcare HR: Challenges, Stressors and S

When:  Mar 26, 2026 from 01:00:00 PM to 02:00:00 PM (CT)
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.
Objectives:
1.Identify and discuss the current stressors, pressures, and workplace realities impacting healthcare HR professionals across roles and system types.
2.Share and compare coping strategies, support mechanisms, and lived experiences to surface common themes and differences across the field.
3.Contribute insights that will shape part 2 of this series, where subject matter experts will present leading practices, structural models, and solutions informed by the challenges raised in part 1.
