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

Online: Thursday, September 8, 2022 | Time: 12:00-2:00 pm ET / 9:00-11:00 am PT

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.
