Year in Review

After a year of learning, we'll look back at some past topics, compare to emerging trends, and see where the future of work (and now) takes us next.

Work Now + In the Future (WNIF)

Each month, the Work Now + In The Future series creates a virtual gathering with experts to share actionable ideas about work, talent, humanity, technology, and everything that impacts our work experience.

We share actionable ideas and give rise to authentic conversations with leaders who want to keep it real with genuine connection, empathy, honesty, and support. During the event, not only are the discussions lively, but the takeaways come to life with live illustrations.

Tickets to Work Now + In The Future are always free and always include an option to donate to a different non-profit organization we rotate each month. We welcome you to come as you are, from where you are, to join us in learning and growing together. 

With more than 20 years of experience we can
deliver the best product design.

Lessons From Our Panelists

"Communication has to change in terms of content and the way we communicate (empathy) and the tools."

Madeline Laurano

"You can gain or lose customers based on how you’re treating people."

Ryan O'Donnell
CEO + Co-Founder, EmployUs

"We as leaders need to make sure our employees are not connected 24/7. Its not healthy. We need to disconnect and be with our families."

Thomas Ajspur
CEO, ENAVATE

"There is no one size fit all, focus on what works for you and your organization and not others."

Skip Marshall
Chief Executive Officer, InTech Ideas

"Put in group meetings that are truly social - not work related and take into account generational and personality aspects."

Star Carter
Co-Founder, Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel, Kanarys

"Why are you trying to figure out what your employees problems are, why don’t you ask them. Ask them. Stop problem solving and ask them what they need."

Christofer Peterson
SVP People & Culture, Dagger

"You have to be more flexible… and mindful about different people's work experiences and home realities. You have to look at them even more as the whole person to ensure they're not marginalized because they can't commit to the same digital commitment that others might be able to."

Brandon Keao
Director of Product - Core, Bitly

"There's probably never been a better time to put {employee experience} under the microscope and try to drive something really powerful to humanize what work is."

Perry Timms
Founder and Chief Energy Officer, People and Transformational HR Ltd

"We need to make sure the understanding of technology, the availability of technology, and the embracing of technology happens."

Managing Principal, Cushman Wakefield

"One awesome conversation that is coming out of the ability to work from home is not just where you work but it’s when and how you work."

Vice President of People & Culture, Wonolo

"The first thing that employers need to figure out is if returning people to the workplace is needed."

Partner, Mercer

"Have a game plan in terms of what skills you need to be coming back into your workplace."

"We all have to be prepared for a workforce that is going to be much more psychologically vulnerable than they’ve ever been before."

"We’re going to start seeing different types of candidates coming through the pipeline than what you saw before and this is a really good time to rethink what your talent strategy is."

Head of Business Services, Invista Talent

"COVID-19 has really opened the eyes of people about needing technology. people want to be connected to people and that’s what technology is offering the ability to do."

HCM Consultant, iSolved

"Organizations can focus on building a level of psychological safety. Communicate with your people more. Give them the sense of connectedness and belonging that they’re probably striving for right now. "

Influencer

"At a minimum, don’t underestimate the importance of communicating with your employees, thanking them for being there and just going with the flow. Make sure they know about the resources that are available."

Partner, Constangy

"We really do need organizations who have leaders that create an environment where employees really feel empowered and free to talk to any level of employee."

HR Director, Baker McKenzie

Kevin Grossman
President and Board Member, Talent Board HR

"It is never impractical to listen."

Ellen Buchman 

“By focusing on communication at both the executive and workforce level, and helping people communicate we will change the world of work, and maybe even change society.”

Laurie Ruettimann
Writer, Speaker, Author and Instructor, Punk Rock HR/ LinkedIn

“People don’t trust you because you say you can be trusted, people trust you because you show them you’re trustworthy.”
