Sessions

It’s not the money. It’s not the work itself. It’s the culture. It doesn’t matter how much you pay, how important the project or how many weeks of vacation you offer. When the workplace culture is toxic, it has a significant impact on your bottom line. Research reveals that culture impacts morale, hiring, engagement, productivity, and health and wellness. In fact, 75 percent of workplace harassment incidents go unreported per year. So, what does HR need to do in order to create a welcoming, respectful and inclusive workplace culture—one that attracts top diverse talent; increases performance and engagement; fosters inclusion, collaboration and trust; and makes great workers want to stay? Dr. Shirley Davis, global workforce expert and president of SDS Global Enterprises, will share the latest research and best practices that reveal how welcoming and respectful cultures are created and how HR can deploy these strategies to bring resolution and ensure that employees have a voice.
