With a global pandemic, racial injustice, and political warfare, 2020 has been a year of constant disruption and uncertainty. New levels of fear, social unrest, and economic instability have affected our country, our communities, and our work lives like nothing before. 

Organizations who’ve survived have quickly learned they must invest in a deeper and more empathetic understanding of individual employees – their true needs and motivations; their sense of security, equity, purpose, and aspirations; and the enablers of human motivation and personal excellence that drive business contributions. 

With cross-industry data from thousands of Linkedin members and more than 12 million employees across 700+ Glint global customers on topics ranging from COVID response and remote work to psychological safety, justice, and belonging in the workplace; Linkedin is leading the way in the study of what it defines as “People Success,” an approach that focuses the organization’s energy in real-time on the needs of workers and experiences that most lead to employee happiness and success at work. 

Employee Engagement expert, Craig Ramsay, will share an advanced view of his research team’s early findings and an emerging model of employee needs in today’s work world prior to their publication in 2021. Craig will then moderate a discussion with two of LinkedIn’s leading People Science experts Jeff Jokerst and Tom Nolan who will share their experience applying a new People Success approach with organizations today.

In this session, you will learn how to:

• Examine what is truly motivating employees in today’s work world
• Create organizational habits that lead to more engaged employees and sustainable performance improvements, and
• Use ongoing employee feedback to make targeted changes that impact business outcomes
