Intro to Future-Proofing Work Culture

Instructor: Jaime Neely
Future-Proofing Work Culture
Download the Future-Proofing Work Culture Trend Report
In this module, Trend Hunter's Chief Culture Officer, Jaime Neely, re-introduces the 4 Es of Modern Work Culture and their ever-increasing role in building an engaged, motivated and innovative workforce in today's highly competitive market. Employees today have never been more informed, more empowered or more mobile. Companies need to work harder than ever before to attract and retain top talent.
 
Organizations, both large and small, are no longer immune to the poor treatment of employees, ethical shortcuts or substandard management practices. Employees have more power and more opportunity to expose bad behavior and move elsewhere to feel valued and appreciated. The future of business is often uncertain and unpredictable, but having an aligned team will better position any organization to weather a storm.
