Keynote by Erica Keswin:
Whether your employees are at work in real life (IRL) three days a week, three days a month or three days a year, your hybrid organization will benefit from creating a strong community.
Since the US Surgeon General has made it clear that we are in the midst of an epidemic of loneliness and isolation, and hybrid work has only increased employees’ feelings of disconnection, it’s never been more important to design intentional community. And research shows that when employees feel more connected at work, their ability to do their job, the quality of their work, and a desire to go above and beyond all increase.
[Eagle Hill Consulting] In this inspiring program, Erica will teach you how to create community at work, regardless of how often people meet in person. Erica will show you why a lack of intentionality is a recipe for resentment (and bad for the bottom line!) and guide you in creating moments that matter for your employees.
