1:00pm-2:00pm The Evolving Engagement Landscape and HR’s Role in Leading Through Changes in Workplace Culture

Concurrent Session

In today’s rapidly shifting social and political climate, conversations around employee voice and workplace culture are more complex than ever. As priorities evolve and external pressures mount, HR leaders are being called to reimagine how organizations support a sense of connection, collaboration, engagement, and respect across the employee experience.

This panel will explore how people leaders can continue to foster strong, engaging cultures by empowering employee-led groups (like ERGs), amplifying feedback channels, and aligning cultural efforts with business goals. From navigating resistance to sustaining momentum, we’ll look at practical strategies for driving connection and belonging—especially in times of uncertainty.

In this panel, you will learn:
•    How to align engagement and people-centered efforts with broader business strategies
•    Practical approaches for navigating resistance while staying true to your values
•    Forecasts and future trends in culture, belonging, and employee-led movements
