In this presentation, you’ll learn: which benefits are most impacted by today’s economic shifts, the impact of supporting your employees with caregiving needs on your business, who these benefits programs are commonly designed for (and why we need to shift our thinking), and about employer expectations of government support for working caregivers.

Robertson Auditorium Employee Engagement and Recognition: Trends & Tips, With Help From Coach Ted Lasso

How is employee experience changing in the current environment? We'll take a close look, then explore how companies are navigating flexible work and creating a sense of recognition and belonging. This is critical to creating a healthy work environment, yet there's a disconnect between what managers think they're doing and what workers perceive. With a few lessons from Ted Lasso, we'll show frameworks and strategies for creating a culture of recognition for the 2023 workforce.  This isn't necessarily easy, but as Ted says, "A challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn't it? If you're comfortable while you're doing it, you're probably doing it wrong."
