Empowering Workplaces

In this episode of Work@Life, we are joined by a very special guest, Andrea O’Leary, Ph.D., Chief People Officer at Enterprise Client Group and Innovation at Aon, as we look at how critical the current moment is for companies' in regards to their diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) strategy, and how it can be best embedded into their plans and objectives.

We are at a pivotal moment where we can create truly innovative and sustainable DEIB programs, focused on four main employee lifecycle pillars: recruitment, development, promotion and retention. All the changes we are experiencing in the labor market truly provide The Great Opportunity to make a significant mark on these initiatives. Are you ready to accelerate your progress?

Workers have said it loud and clear, flexibility is one of their key considerations as they evaluate employers moving ahead. For organizations who are hoping to get their people back in the office at least some of the time, it means rethinking their office layout and corporate architecture to make the best of the peoples' time while in person. Join our discussion with Colleen V. Scott at Work @ Life to learn more about how companies are redefining and redesigning who they are, what are the key needs of their people, and their organizational goals, and how these are impacting the changes happening in the office architecture today.

You have probably heard (a lot!) about The Great Resignation—and it's likely made you nervous about the impact it will have on your organization. But, have you considered how this time of turmoil could be a great moment to improve your culture and employee experience? That’s why in this new season of Work@Life, we’ll examine what we’re calling The Great Opportunity: How we approach work, what’s the most effective way to connect with our people, and how organizations can use data to take action.

Most of us experience an inner critic, a voice that may tell us we are not a good enough parent, friend, are behind in our career. Most of the time this voice can be a pest and drain our energy, but in some cases it can actually propel us to do better. It may depend on how we listen to it, or what kind of action we take on it. Join our conversation with our special guest Jasenka Šabanović from The Fast Forward Group and learn how to be better aware of your inner critic and how to more productively incorporate it into your life.

This is certainly not an end to the conversation, but it’s a wrap-up on our season that was all about The First Female Recession. In this last episode, we recap all the knowledge and data points gathered throughout the season, which, in turn, we hope influence how organizations take action and have an impact on the future of their talent.
