Why Are We Here? Creating a Work Culture Everyone Wants

The experience of work has permanently and dramatically changed. Seven in ten employees globally say the ongoing crisis has caused them to reflect on their life's purpose. One in two are reconsidering the work they do. Millennials are three times more likely to reevaluate their careers. From economic uncertainty and AI acceleration to generational divides and global instability, engagement and productivity are in free fall. The workforce is questioning, “Why are we here?” While leaders struggle to give talent a reason to stay, the talent is already out the door.

But it’s not all doom and gloom! This is actually a good news story. In her must-see keynote based in behavioral sciences research, Jennifer shares three surprising reasons for this mindset switch and six novel strategies to address it.

A global workplace strategist, researcher, and acclaimed journalist, Jennifer tackles serious topics with a sense of humor and an approachable speaking style. Based on her provocative new book, the next in her award-winning series for Harvard Business Press, Jennifer enlightens audiences with the latest research, novel case studies, and leadership insights. She’s best known for explaining through science those feelings we can’t put our finger on and leaving attendees with practical strategies and next steps to solve the big problems.
