We’re all adapting to change at an unprecedented pace. The new world of distributed work is testing the limits not only of our technical infrastructure but also of our cultural norms and workplace strategies and structures. Traditional norms around schedules, meetings, dress codes, and interruptions are being turned on their head.
How should our organizations strategize through these shifts?
How do we adapt our practices to lead, learn, and operate in a distributed way?
What does it mean to have an engaged workforce?
What does “work-place culture” mean today?
How do we prepare for the “return to work”?
How do we ensure that the “human” is at the center of our ongoing digital transformation?
As we address these questions, we’re also thinking about the impact of our new reality on our industry’s efforts around diversity and equity—and how we’ll ensure our industry remains accessible and exciting to future generations.
Join us for a series of conversations with leading Human Resources, Talent, Learning & Development, and Diversity executives with extensive experience leading our industry. Together, we’ll define the digital work world and help ensure everyone’s place in its future.
Thursday, July 16, 4 – 5 p.m. ET
As Talent Leaders, our influence on organizations, people, and structures is great, and so, therefore our responsibility. As influencers it is no longer ok for us to maintain the status quo, we must commit to being anti-racist and advocates for change, even when it means standing firm and making the hard decisions. Our leaders need our guidance and opinion more than ever before, we need to ensure our workplaces have a more equitable, shared power dynamic. It is up to us to drive belonging and justice for all, not just focus on diversity as a number. Barb Rozman-Stokes and Simon Fenwick will discuss how Talent leaders can “Take the lead” and drive a more deliberate, immediate, and transformative industry with equity at its core.

Covid-19 and the recent killings of unarmed black people have magnified the racial inequities within the black community. The most asked question in the industry is “What are actionable solutions to fix the issue?” This may be a complex question, but we do know that allyship has proven to be the most beneficial avenue when beginning to tackle this issue. We will discuss allyship as well as bias and proper communication with Natasha Bowman, President, and CEO of ReNew Performance.
