Organizations with thriving cultures are far more resilient in challenging and uncertain times. But what is it about these cultures that give them their strength? What is the foundation that supports them?
In a word, community.
In the workplace, community helps employees feel like they’re part of something bigger; that they belong and contribute to a shared purpose in meaningful ways. When there is a healthy workplace community, employees work together to make better decisions and are more committed to the organization’s success.
Join Meghan Stettler, Director of the O.C. Tanner Institute, as she speaks with Alana Bennett, Human Experience Fanatic & Coach at Connected Experience and Gemma Saunders, Founder of Workplace Edit, about reinforcing the foundations of workplace community to create more resilient organizations.
In this session, you’ll learn about:
• The eight elements of a strong workplace community
• The drivers and derailers of connection
• Creating trust and camaraderie in diverse teams
• The power of recognition in building belonging

Leaders are employees, too. This truth may sound obvious, but it’s overlooked enough that mid-level managers are being asked to do more than ever before—experiencing more stress, anxiety, and burnout than other employees—which can lead to a dangerous domino effect. Ultimately, leaders’ work experiences are nowhere near as positive as those of their individually contributing colleagues.
So what is the remedy? It starts with adopting a more holistic view of employees and then advocating for inclusive change management, leader appreciation, and appropriate support. Join Meghan Stettler, director at O.C. Tanner Institute, along with Salman Haider, Clinical Operations Lead at Intellect, as they discuss:
1. The factors contributing to leader burnout
2. Mental health challenges associated with modern leadership

Traditional leadership is dying. Employees are rejecting old-school leadership practices outright, forcing organizations to rethink and reshape the way leaders lead. In this presentation, attendees gain an understanding of how the traditional role of leadership has changed and why leaders must adjust their mindset and adapt new behaviors to bring about more cohesive, collaborative, and productive teams.

In this webinar, you will:

• Learn why traditional ways of leading are being rejected as new generations join the workplace

• Identify best practices for holding one-to-ones, establishing autonomy, and facilitating powerful employee experiences that demonstrate appreciation and translate into stronger business results

Best Practices for Making the Shift to Modern Leadership

Inclusion is top of mind for many organizations, as it should be. Yet, many employees still report ineffective and inauthentic inclusion strategies and initiatives. The 2021 Global Culture Report found that 83% of those who self-identify with any minority group are more likely to feel their organization talks about diversity in ways that box employees into traditional categories that don’t accurately express who they are. HR Leaders continue to be at a loss for where to go next.  

Join Dr. Alexander Lovell of the O.C. Tanner Institute as he shares strategies for improving inclusion and equity in the workplace from the lens of employee recognition. Learn about key factors to building successful inclusion initiatives, including:  

• The critical connection between inclusion, equity, and employee recognition

• Core considerations for an inclusive, effective, and equitable recognition program

• How to measure inclusion through your recognition program

The Missing Link in your DE&I Strategy

Hybrid work is central to the reopening plans for countless organizations. Yet many leaders are wrestling with how to make hybrid models work—from identifying how many days employees can work remotely, to reorganizing the office to promote collaboration, to crafting culture-building initiatives that connect people across home and work locations.  Because every hybrid work experience hinges on personalization and flexibility, what may work well for one organization may not work for another.
 
How do you craft a personalized hybrid plan that works for everyone? Join O.C. Tanner’s Meghan Stettler as she discusses the future of work and key principles for creating a hybrid model where people can thrive, do great work, and deliver business results.
