UPDATE: For the health and safety of HRSF meeting attendees, HRSF has this event will be 100% virtual. Due to the rise in reported COVID cases in Santa Clara county (the 14 day average has increased by 64%) and surrounding counties over the previous 2 weeks we will not be hosting this event onsite. We apologize if you've made travel plans. As we have over the past two years, we will deliver an interactive and energizing virtual session over Zoom. Thanks for your understanding.

With the unprecedented global socio-economic impact of the pandemic, workers around the world are rethinking not only where they work, but why they work. A LinkedIn poll of 15,585 members found that 66% had either left their job or considered leaving to pursue a passion project in 2021. LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky has summarized this “talent migration” as The Great Reshuffle, signaling that the need for leaders to reevaluate company culture and workplace practices, and to take control of their employee value proposition, has never been greater.

Do you know why your employees are leaving and what they are looking for now?

Craig Ramsay will share Glint’s comprehensive research based on 350 million employee responses over the past 24 months on the modern factors that drive employee attraction, engagement, and retention. Results show employees today want something fundamentally different from their jobs and workplaces. These findings have identified several new expectations that are lower on the “human hierarchy of needs” yet critically important to why employees choose to move or stay and what inspires them to do their best work.

Have you asked yourself…What is most important to the humans in my organization today?

What matters to employees now is feeling cared for, valued, and supported; having flexibility to choose when and where to work (hybrid/remote/on-site); being honored for their differences; and being treated with equity in all aspects of work life. These emerging expectations all have one thing in common: They call out for a more human-centric perspective by employers – an approach Glint calls “People Success” captured in a six-box  “People Success Elements” model.

To summarize: The People Success approach views employees as humans, not only workers. It provides for people’s needs and expectations that are critical to their life experience, not just their work experience.

A panel of senior HR leaders will join Craig to discuss how organizations have shifted focus to adapt to these changing employee needs, as well as how companies might yet continue to evolve.

HR Leader panelists

• Tory Martinez, Vice President, DEI & Talent Development at BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc.
  
• Katie Watson, Chief Human Resources Officer, Solidigm
  
• Amy Lavoie, VP of People Success @ Torch

In breakouts, we will deepen the conversation as participants reflect on the data and questions about how best to attract, retain and engage employees who hold these new expectations. 

Join us to explore these topics and discuss with panelists and peers:
