Purpose or Perish: The Future of Post-COVID Employee Experience

Session Time: Wednesday, February 10 | 9:10 AM – 10:10 AM (PT)

Speaker: Joshua Evans, Founder/CEO, Culture Consulting Associates | LinkedIn

Session Description: The world and the workplace has changed dramatically and we must make the critical decision to evolve. During the recent global challenges, people have become afraid and often disengaged, strong cultures are being tested like never before. While there are many questions we don't have answers to, there is one thing we do know that can be easy to forget: that we have Purpose. As we move into the future, purpose is going to be the new expectation behind individual's personal and professional lives. Purpose is becoming the objective. By 2021, Millennials will represent more than 50% of the workplace and when polled 87% of them are willing to work for less money as long as they feel their work has purpose. So the question becomes, how can we provide deeper meaning and purpose in all that we do? In this highly-interactive session, participants will learn techniques for moving beyond surface level interactions and moving towards deeper meaning to create more authentic relationships.

• Core Competency #1: Talent Acquisition, Relationship Management

• Core Competency #2: Leadership & Navigation

Takeaways: Participants will walk away with the foundational tools that will help them build an exceptional employee experience. These tools include templates for providing deeper meaning in the workplace, checklists for organizational culture effectiveness, and a mapping tool for designing and implementing your ideal employee experience path.
