Agenda

8:30 AM – 9:00 AM | Coffee & conversation

Ease into your morning with a coffee in hand and casual convos with other employee experience pros.

9:00 AM – 9:30 AM | The problem with being employee-centric in your communications with Comms Influencer, Chris Lee- VP Employee Communications at Gallagher

When you look at the language that most employers use on their career pages, it’s clear that the focus is on building a workforce that is best suited to achieving organizational objectives. But there’s a missed opportunity to foster a balanced talent brand that sees the relationship between employer and employee as a symbiotic partnership. One where you are just as committed to supporting your people’s wellbeing and individual growth, as employees are to supporting your organization’s goals. Employees are not consumers that should be “marketed” at, but there are lessons to be learned from world-class brands.

• Shaping your communications to appeal to the human behind the employee badge, and how this contributes to a stronger talent brand
• The role that communications play in shaping engagement and culture
• A seat at the table means understanding what outcomes you are helping to achieve with communications
