Erudite Employee Experience Summit | Melbourne
At this live & virtual event covering APAC, I had the pleasure of kicking off the event as the keynote speaker. Preparing the audience for 2 days of lively discussion on employee experience & engagement.
We started with an in-depth review of how innovative use of employee data and technology coupled with a truly people first mentality, can transform the workplace, creating a seamless journey that cultivates engagement and boosts productivity.
As the idea of being people-centric took off post-covid, it became quite evident which organizations were saying they were "people-first" and which actually were.
