How We Are Getting Workplaces Wrong

NeoCon Presentation Description: This presentation will advocate for ways to get us off the dime regarding the dilemmas many companies are grappling with, like hybrid, RTO mandates, worker empowerment, and new metrics. I'll cover what's not working, what we should be doing instead, and what new perspectives we must embrace to enable more meaningful and effective workplaces.
