WorkHuman 2019 speakers will share expertise and primary research on HR topics such as continuous performance development, social recognition, positive psychology, leadership, the employee experience, diversity, inclusion and belonging, and building a great culture and workplace.

Core themes for WorkHuman 2019 include the following:

  • Continuous Performance Development – How crowdsourced feedback, recognition, continuous conversations, and check-ins can humanize the way we motivate and develop our people.
  • The Power of Gratitude in the Workplace – How a foundation of social recognition can build a positive workplace where people are motivated to do their best work.
  • Unity in Diversity: Inclusion, Belonging, and Intersectionality – Exploring proven strategies in building a diverse workplace where every employee can thrive from experiencing a sense of inclusion, positivity, and joy, and where the strength of their collective differences creates unstoppable teams that drive business goals.
  • Elevating Your Employer Brand – Some of the most admired global companies will discuss how to build a more employee-centric brand that connects employees to your company mission and reflects positivity from the inside out.
  • Your Whole Self How to live WorkHuman in an organization by building trust between managers and employees and championing programs that enrich work/life balance, making employees feel valued, respected, appreciated, and most importantly, human.
  • The New Workplace Community – Celebrating milestones and life events, promoting gratitude and appreciation, avoiding unnecessary drama, and the impact of agile work environments and office design in making employees feel more human.
  • A Partnership of Equals: Equality, Respect, and Safety in the Workplace – How to put people first, address pay parity, mitigate unconscious bias, foster psychological safety, and establish fair, compliance-driven processes to make the workplace more equal and safe for everyone.
  • The Intersection of Humanity and Technology – Artificial Intelligence is nothing new, but now more than ever, it seems to conjure up frightening images of job-stealing robots. But what if technology could improve the way we work, as individuals and teams, complementing our roles without diminishing the human element? This track showcases impactful stories, research, groundbreaking analytics work, and case studies from companies with award-winning cultures who’ve successfully put this technology into practice.

Submissions will be considered for:
