Connectivity is paramount to today’s hybrid work environments. Workers’ changing employer expectations necessitate deliberate company culture strategies across all levels of leadership. Providing access to tools and information, fostering a sense of belonging, and aligning the employee experience with the employee lifecycle and business outcomes falls to the CHRO to create an engaged, high performing workforce at scale.
In this interactive conversation among peers, CHROs will discuss their role in creating employee engagement strategies that keep workers loyal and motivated while adjusting to new ways of working.
Topic 1: Creating new ways to work
- What does a unified employee experience mean to you? What steps are you taking to achieve this across the organization?
- How are you adjusting workflows across the enterprise?
- How are you providing employees with the tools and access they need to be successful in the current work environment?
Topic 2: Boosting employee engagement
- How are you creating a motivational atmosphere for employees in either remote or hybrid work environments?
- How are you building a culture that is change-ready and driving that transformation with employee support every step of the way?
- How are you skilling leaders for inclusive leadership to foster the right culture?
