It's All About Employee Experience
Speaker: Drew Munn, Future Impact Advisor, Gallagher

Millions of dollars are invested each year by e-commerce firms into making it easier for people to get to what they need: from the age-old practice of SEO to cutting-edge trends like integrating their functionality into messaging apps. With this high-impact, low-effort experience becoming the de facto standard for how we interact with our customers, why don't we put the same effort into engaging our employees?

By shifting the way we think about our channels and messages, there’s nothing stopping us from harnessing the power of the customer experience market to super-charge the experience we offer employees. Complex intranets and boring corporate mailshots have had their day, but new tools need new strategies if we're going to make the most of them. It's time to review our digital communication landscape: to make sure we're making the most of what's available today, and that we're ready for whatever's around the corner.

Shaping and Influencing Culture in a Remote Work Environment
Speaker: Leslie Krohn, Chief Communications Officer/Director of Communications & Public Affairs, Argonne National Laboratory

Working remotely is not a new concept, but now so many companies and organizations are making it a permanent work solution. While this is a welcomed shift for people who are use to conducting business online, it can be challenging for communicators who focus on shaping culture, especially when that type of work was usually for employees who everyday reported into a work location. Leslie's presentation will focus on ITS ABOUT TIME TO RETHINK how to change and influence culture in a remote environment.

What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Miserable - Shift Stress to Advantage Your Teams and Your Clients
Presented by: Deborah Gilboa, Family Physician & Resilience Expert, Ask Doctor G

The developed world is terrified of stress. For decades we've accepted this narrative: struggle magically makes organizations, teams and individuals stronger; while simultaneously fearing the negative effects of every situation that makes us uncomfortable. Leaders do what they can to reduce and avoid stress for their teams, and teams work to prove to others that their service or product will eliminate stress in order to prove their worth. It's about time to look at the science of strength and success, and confront the fallacies behind the belief that stress is the enemy. Deborah Gilboa, MD (Dr. G), a board certified Family Physician and Resilience Expert, will demonstrate the usefulness of stress to build mental health, the value of addressing change with openness rather than fear, and the strategies to get teams and customers on board. Struggle doesn't make us stronger, but our mental fitness in the face of change can.

The Art of Engagement and Connection in our Virtual Communication
Speaker: Cecilia Lui, Founder & Director, ILIA Connect

In the era that is Covid-19, everyone has been pushed to the virtual space for their professional, personal and social needs.  Yet, engagement has been a top challenge reported for virtual communication throughout the pandemic. Whether we are part of the work-from-home culture with a daily need to show up for meetings and presentations, or that we crave social connections and regularly attend networking events, adapting our skills and optimizing our ability to communicate with equal or more effectiveness in the virtual world has become a critical skill we need to master.  In this session, we will learn the elements that help elevate our ability to step up and show up in the virtual world.  The speaker shares how her communications and cross-cultural work complements each other in helping us gain visibility and create impact in our virtual communication.

Water Coolers and Weak Ties: Keeping Informal Networks Alive in a Virtual World
Speaker: Diana Hong, Managing Director, CRA, Inc.

What the research and our experiences show is that during virtual work, our networks narrow down - our strong ties get stronger and our weak ties get weaker. Even within a team, we find that our day to day fills from more meetings with those whom we closely collaborate with and little to no interaction with others we used to see in hallways, break rooms, cafeterias, near the printer or coffee machine. But research also shows creativity and career opportunities come from casual collisions - from the expanded network beyond immediate connections or people you know in passing. So how do we reconcile this? We're in an era of work that means it's about time to better leverage hybrid or fully remote work environments. In this session, we'll cover pointers from academia, real-life examples, and suggestions for organizational communications leaders through presentation, exercises, breakout sessions, and live polling.
