About the event
Organizations continue to invest in engagement and retention, yet many are still struggling to move the needle. What if we’re solving the wrong problems?
This session explores the systemic, structural, and relational issues that quietly drive disengagement and turnover—issues often mistaken for individual behavior, motivation, or attitude. We’ll challenge leaders to look beyond the employee and examine how leadership, trust, communication, growth, and workplace culture shape the employee experience.
Attendees will leave with a fresh perspective and practical strategies to uncover the real reasons people disengage—and what leaders can do differently to help employees stay, contribute, and thrive.
Join Angel, Gregory, and Khy as they bring their unique perspectives from HR leadership to explore the systemic, structural, and relational issues that quietly drive disengagement and turnover.
