This Changes Everything—Or Does It? AI's Impact On The Future Of Work

Managing The Employee Experience In A Changed World
Were the last few years a blip? As the pendulum swings back toward employers having the upper hand and more companies cut layers of staff, a conversation about what managing the “employee experience” will mean in the future. What role will middle managers have as companies flatten their staffs? As the social contract changes in the tech sector, which perks and benefits will matter, and which ones won’t? How will last year’s focus on wellness and burnout fare when people are worried about the future of their jobs? A discussion with key thought leaders and CHROs that explores employers’ relationships with their workers in rapidly changing times.

Talking To The TikTok Generation At Work
Short-form video is upending how we talk about work, amplifying buzzwords like ‘quiet quitting’ or ‘bare-minimum Mondays.’ But it’s also overhauling how we talk at work, and with people at work. A generation raised on social media wants training tools in digestible bites. They prefer video to lengthy emails. And their ideas about what’s acceptable—and what’s funny—at work is being formed by a legion of creators online. A conversation with leaders and creators about the video-centricity of Gen Z workers, TikTok’s effect on corporate America and how leaders must adapt to video’s increasing role in the world of work.
