Join thought leaders from the O.C. Tanner Institute to explore in-depth insights from the 2023 Global Culture Report.
As the business landscape adjusts to new models of work and continued workplace changes, maintaining a strong workplace community is more important than ever. Evolving organisations that prioritise employee belonging and connection will be ideally positioned to leverage their talent and lead out on industry-changing innovation.
In this webinar, Daniel Patterson and Dr. Cristen Dalessandro of the O.C. Tanner Institute share their insights on how organisations can support often-overlooked players who are central to a healthy workplace community: generalist employees. Generalist employees have diverse skill sets and are particularly adept at collaboration, interdisciplinary thinking, and thriving in times of ambiguity. However, this group is at risk of feeling overlooked and underappreciated within organisations, which can lead to greater attrition and other negative outcomes.
In this webinar, you will:
- Explore data and perspectives from more than 40,000 employees and leaders worldwide
- Discover why generalist employees are increasingly important in the modern work landscape
- Learn practical strategies for retaining generalist employees and helping them thrive at work
