Virtual Event: HR & Future of Work National Insights – Summer Edition

Online

Event Overview Navigating a Changing Workplace and Building Better Policies and Teams for the Future Over the past few years, workplaces have changed dramatically, and long-anticipated transformation has only been accelerated due to the pandemic. HR executives recognize that there is a greater need to do better to remain competitive in this job market. Workplace culture, diversity and inclusion, flexible work programs, leadership development, are but a few key factors driving workplace transformation. We will explore the increased demand for employer accountability when it comes to employee and workplace wellness. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is the importance of adopting more proactive, rather than reactive, solutions. Introducing systems that allow access to health and wellness resources and support is only the beginning. In this online seminar, we will also discuss key strategies that promote diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplaces. As our communities become increasingly diverse, our workforce needs to become a reflection of this. Ensuring that we identify and remove barriers is essential, and prioritizing recruitment and talent development initiatives for women and people of diverse backgrounds can only mean further success. It is crucial that the future of work is people focused.
