Culturally aware organizations are recognized as a great place to work, innovative, creative, engaged, and positively impacting communities around the world. Company culture is as relevant today as it was before the pandemic to secure and sustain company resiliency. Today’s customers will not think twice to boycott a brand solely based on the organization’s political, social, or cultural views. How do you leverage your company culture to win talent, outperform the competition, grow globally and drive employee engagement? Learn from our panelists who will share the deep connection between company culture, shareholder value and performance.
Date: June 16 from 12-12:45 PM EST via Zoom
