Staff Transitioning: How To Stay Compliant During Change

In the field of grants management, staffing transitions often lead to a high-risk environment for compliance violations, operations disruption, and heightened stress levels in organizations already stretched thin. Nevertheless, as explored in this podcast, these transitions and the accompanying challenges are common issues many organizations face for various reasons. 

Grant Management Manager Kat Kizior and new co-host and Grants Management Senior Associate Paula Heller join forces to respond to listeners’ questions concerning their staffing challenges. With Manager Kimberly Konczak serving as moderator, Kat and Paula provide guidance that will help listeners stay compliant during change.
