SUMMARY:Beyond Survival Mode: Leading Engaged Teams in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:HME leaders spent the pandemic years keeping teams afloat - and the years since rebuilding engagement after survival mode. Just as the workforce found its footing\, a new disruption arrived: AI. Today's employees aren't just tired\; they're wondering whether the technology being rolled out to "help" them is really there to replace them. Engagement strategies built for the post-COVID era won't answer that question.\nThis presentation examines what leading an engaged HME workforce looks like now - and over the next five years. We'll explore why AI anxiety is the new burnout\, how to position automation as a tool that elevates staff rather than threatens them\, and how to communicate change so your most skeptical employees become your strongest adoption champions. Attendees will hear practical\, field-tested approaches for building trust during constant disruption\, redesigning roles as transactional work gets automated\, and retaining institutional knowledge while embracing new technology.\nYou'll leave with a change communication framework and concrete engagement strategies you can put to work with your team immediately - no matter where your organization is on its AI journey.\nLearning Objectives:\n\nRecognize the shift from post-COVID engagement challenges to AI-driven workforce anxiety.\nPosition automation as a tool that elevates employees and patient care\, not replaces them.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuild a change communication plan that turns skeptics into champions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n
