COMMUNICATION: Managing communication “touchpoints” while continuing to respect boundaries

Text me Monday, email me Tuesday, video chat with me Wednesday, meet with me in-person on Friday. Communication interactions today are more fluid than ever with an ongoing thread of “touchpoints” leading us through online to offline to online (O2O2O) conversations that never seem to end. How can leaders and team members galvanize this power of continual contact to enhance relationships and build trust while also respecting boundaries? Our lively panel of experts will explore these new communication pathways and examine how they can both help and hurt us in unusual ways.

INFRASTRUCTURE: Building a healthy hybrid workforce infrastructure to support all your employees.

The future of the office is here, and a lot of those offices are from dining room tables, spare bedrooms, or basements. The pressure to create flexible infrastructure that mitigates business risk while enabling worker productivity is growing. Building it takes a multi-discipline approach that incorporates the technical and the physical. From workplace platforms and IT (Information Technology) security to ergonomic desk chairs and new legal definitions of a workday, this expert panel will take tough topics related to the build out and maintenance of the new infrastructure requirements needed to support all aspects of flexible work.

CULTURE: Creating a positive and inclusive company culture

As the workplace continues to evolve post-COVID, maintaining a strong company culture in a hybrid workforce is going to require a thoughtful conversation about what employees need. Office small talk, in-person events, office parties, and the after work happy hours were a big contributor to building a company culture organically but are now very rare. Companies need to get creative when it comes to creating innovative ways to build a healthy, inclusive company culture when the workforce is still hybrid.
