SEPT. 14 - 15, 2021 | A VIRTUAL 2-DAY EVENT
CULTURE SUMMIT VIRTUAL
MODERN LEADERSHIP
IT'S A FACT...
HR and People Leaders Matter More Than Ever!
2020 has been nothing short of unprecedented. From a global pandemic to acts of racial injustice, these events have the potential to leave behind a trail of disruption. At the same time, they have elevated the importance of people and culture within companies as never before.
HR leaders no longer need to fight for a seat at the table. Instead, leadership is now coming to them on a daily basis for guidance. From figuring out remote work to holding space for difficult conversations, companies and organizations are relying on their HR leaders more than ever. The world of work has changed. The future needs a different type of leader.
Culture Summit energized me to keep pushing for inclusive, diverse and open workplace through the killer speaker keynotes and discussions. Culture is so important both to employee engagement and bottom line, I need to be that much more vocal and intentional. Thank you Culture Summit - I’ll be back next year with my peers!
