The Care and Keeping of Project Managers

Managing large-scale infrastructure projects is stressful work that can take a significant toll on the health and well-being of Project Managers. How can we better recognize the pressures associated with the scope, scale, and complexity of these projects, and be more responsive to the signs and symptoms of stress and burnout among staff? How can agencies build stronger support systems, offer a variety of resources, and empower Project Managers to better address their needs? The presenter will discuss common patterns and pitfalls that agencies may fall into, broaden the audience's thinking about how to meet staff needs in equitable ways, and share ideas on how people at all levels of an organization can proactively contribute to the success and sustainability of not only infrastructure projects but also the well-being of the people behind these impressive feats of engineering.
