America’s C-Suites are contending with the greatest labor revolution in the last two decades, a work-in-progress, living lab for how we get things done. When the pandemic shut down offices and many businesses went remote overnight, most corporate leaders—and workers—assumed the change was just a temporary fix for a world in crisis.
Accustomed to daily flexibility, work-life balance and the time saved commuting, employees have made it clear they want a more flexible work environment moving forward.
Now, many CEOs and their executive teams are grappling with how to put work back together in a way that keeps them competitive while allowing them to hold on to their talent.
Steelcase will present global research into worker attitudes and trends driving employees back to the office—and keeping them at home.
Speakers:
Our world has changed, but our approach to leadership has not kept pace. The challenges surrounding Hybrid Work is a case in point. Most leaders and organizations continue to take a “command & control” approach—one that relies on traditional positional power, hierarchies, motivation, micromanagement and compliance—and employees aren’t having it. People are creative, collaborative, and filled with potential, but today are over-managed and under-led. To draw out performance at the highest level, Trust & Inspire leaders bring out the best in others, and get their very best in return. They do it on purpose, as a matter of course. In this session, NY Times & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Stephen M. R. Covey, will show us how—in a way only an experienced CEO and business practitioner can.
Speaker:

Concerns about hybrid work include impact on productivity, the erosion of company culture and lack of career development. But at Bank of America, flexibility and a focus on collaboration and building relationships have been key to a successful business. Learn how Bank of America’s C-suite has implemented creative ways to maintain a healthy culture through a balanced approach to in-office expectations and geographically dispersed opportunities that supports innovation across functions and creates connection regardless of physical location.
Speaker:
We will divide into small groups for interactive conversations on developing and enforcing a hybrid work policy, creating purposeful and productive hybrid meetings, and making agile workplaces make sense.
Companies are rethinking their office space as they seek to create places where people want to linger and stay—not leave as fast as possible. Experience firsthand how to create a meaningful experience for your employees when they are in the office.
The pandemic has upended everything about the workplace, but far and away the biggest challenge facing leaders isn’t technology, innovation, or even leadership: It’s engendering a culture that readily finds, develops, and engages the right talent to thrive now and in the future. All of which has been made much more complex thanks to the seismic changes involving hybrid work.
This session will dig into cutting-edge thinking about employee engagement and inclusion as how, where and why we work undergoes a radical transformation. Learn how to create experiences where employees can cross-functionally connect and collaborate, to drive innovation, employee engagement, higher retention, and belonging.
