Another way to think of the Great Resignation is as the "Great Disconnection." As we emerge from the pandemic, the move to remote/hybrid work has increased the lack of human connection at work. Only 30 percent of employees feel connected to their teams. In this inspiring and timely presentation, Smiley makes the case that the future of work is human connection. Smiley will share how we can attract, retain and engage top talent, increase human connection, and create more belonging, by building supportive communities inside the workplace. We’ll discuss practical tools to stay engaged in a hybrid workplace, how to make hybrid meetings more inclusive, and ways to bring more connection to the whole employee experience, from recruitment and onboarding to learning & development, diversity and inclusion initiatives, and employee well-being and recognition. Smiley will share how to re-imagine a collaborative, inclusive, purpose-driven culture, shifting this challenging time from The Great Resignation to The Great Reconnection.
Key takeaways from this session
- Purpose is not “changing the world”. It’s listening to your people.
- Care for others. Culture is not scaling. It’s how you treat people.
- Belonging is everyone's job. It must be safe for everyone to take risks and ask questions.
