The authors of two groundbreaking new books come together in conversation about how being a human professional is not an oxymoron, and has never been more important.

Delivering on that expectation demands nothing less than an HR transformation.

For 25 years, organizations have relied on policies and training to ensure that employee behavior matches corporate values.

In this session, we’ll share a skills taxonomy for corporate values and a learning approach to develop, measure, and quantifiably improve skills throughout the workforce. Bring your corporate values with you to the session and we’ll make it interactive!

There is a disconnect between “investment” and “impact” when it comes to employee benefits programs. Employers must consider what brings the most value to their workforce and the Theory of Gift Giving can aid in evaluating programs that truly invest in employee well-being and growth. The theory consists of three principles: making employees feel seen and important, providing a high-quality or high-cost Item, and introducing something new.
