Planning for the Human Moments That Impact Business
Hosted by Empathy
As CHROs work to reduce costly turnover and ensure their workforce can meet evolving business demands, a key challenge remains: how to account for the personal pressures employees carry—like caregiving, grief and other life-altering transitions.
Join this interactive discussion to explore:
- Preparing your HR strategy to protect continuity and performance in the face of life’s disruptions
- Quantifying the toll of life’s hardest moments on productivity, presenteeism and retention
- Designing benefits and support systems that meet today’s workforce—especially the sandwich generation—where they are
