As the consolidation of Georgia Perimeter College and Georgia State University moves along, employees from both schools are getting the chance to participate in seminars aimed at easing the dynamics of change. The human resources departments at both GPC and Georgia State will host a number of “Change and Transition” workshops between now and late August.

Some of the sessions are designed to guide managers and supervisors through the process of leading during change and connecting with disengaged staffers—while others, targeting non-management employees, will address managing stress and thriving during change and transition.

“We would like to fill each session,” says Patrice Masterson, GPC human resources director.

The sessions will be held in various locations at Georgia State and on each of Georgia Perimeter’s five campuses and its Lakeside Center. Workshops are free, and participants can attend sessions anywhere they’re offered. Employees are asked to register at least three days before the class they wish to attend.
