9:00 am – The Human-Centered Workplace: Establishing Belonging Through Authenticity, Collaboration, and Respect – Devin Hughes

Our world has changed, and your organization needs to reflect these changes. By being aware of those around you, showing respect, and appreciating both individuals and their unique qualities, you’ll create the right environment to foster true belonging.

Workplaces are increasingly disconnected. It is vital that individuals feel authentic, valued for their contributions, and have a strong sense of connection and community.  Leaders must build these environments when their plates are already full.

Devin will offer research-backed strategies for building an inclusive mindset, implementing best practices, and creating a work environment where people feel like they belong. He will explore our identities' role at work and how we can develop empathy and understanding for others’ experiences.

In this session, you will:

¨Learn more about organizations’ unique role in creating places of belonging and encouraging authentic connections.

¨Explore the latest research to understand workforce trends and dive into what it means for employees to be connected.

¨Learn the specific actions necessary to create a culture of connection and belonging.

9:00 am—Working Genius – Jacquelyn Wieland - Hear more from Jacquelyn 

Work is a broad term that applies to almost every part of our lives, even beyond what we formally refer to as jobs. Most of our waking hours involve some kind of work. We have discovered there are six types of work. These six are required whether you’re working on launching a project, running a department, or planning a vacation. The Working Genius model explains the six types of work and the order of those stages. Each of us have the ability to get joy and energy from two of those types of work. And because we love that kind of work, we usually gravitate toward it and are pretty good at it. We’re meant to use these gifts, what we call our geniuses, to contribute to the world around us. We should use our geniuses with our teams, communities, and families. When we don’t use them, or can’t use them, it’s frustrating and sometimes downright tragic. To use our geniuses well, we must know what they are.
