Employees rising – Webinar
Meeting the challenge of rising employee activism through better workplace policies
The combination of the pandemic and social unrest have led to major new trends, as well as pushing other long-standing issues to the forefront.
In particular, the debate around the future of work has seen an unprecedented rise in workplace activism, enabled and amplified by social media.
Across all sectors and geographies, workers are becoming more vocal in articulating their views – about the workplace, their employer and wider social issues.
This discontent has been amplified by digital technology and social media and caused significant reputational damage. Where traditional, internal communication channels have failed to meet their needs, external means of raising concerns have filled the void.
The organisations that will thrive in the workplace of the future will be those that find a way to redefine the workforce relationship, manage tensions and create a common, compelling vision.
What company leaders need is an Employee Activism Playbook to help them navigate uncharted territory.
