Making the workplace work for people

The competition for talent has moved well beyond employers competing with one another to find the best workers. Now, as employees demand more flexibility and are driven by other non-monetary factors, managers also find themselves rethinking employee value propositions to address the new power and choices workers have. To build a resilient workforce of top talent, CEOs need to radically rethink ways of working—from embedding meaning and purpose in work, to developing opportunities for individuals to add new layers of skills, to fostering social capital within the organization to build networks and trust. Drawing on McKinsey & Company’s latest research, this session will explore what factors make employees happier, more productive, and more likely to stay–and how CEOs are driving business value by deploying a talent-first mindset.
