• Returning to the workplace: What will be the lasting effects of the pandemic on the workplace and the way we work?
• Addressing worker well-being: The events of 2020 have taken a toll on workers. What can organizations do to support their people?
• Developing leaders: How must leaders change as we move forward from the pandemic? And why is empathy key to effective leadership?
• Responding to social change issues: Are we in a permanently different era of corporate activism? What should leaders keep in mind when responding to social change issues?
• The growing importance of human capital management: Human capital management is expanding beyond human resources into the purview of boards and the C-suite. How can companies effectively oversee human capital management?
