TOPIC
In today’s workplace, a silent standoff is unfolding. Employees and employers alike are disengaging, retreating into what researchers call “cold work” — a culture of quiet tension, mistrust, and emotional fatigue. But it doesn’t have to stay this way. Join us for a fireside chat exploring how CHROs can transform this climate by identifying and approaching these hidden tensions with a set of human-centered, research-driven practices that address the root causes of disengagement. We’ll discuss how to normalize work swaps, maintain a culture of repair, and build systems that support new ways of working — all while aligning with business outcomes.
Why Attend:
- Discover the most pressing hidden tensions shaping the modern workplace
- Hear real stories from employees and employers navigating this new era of work
- Learn actionable strategies to move beyond performative perks and into meaningful change
