The way we work has changed at a breakneck pace, but not always as we imagined it would. How is transformation unfolding in surprising ways? Will AI and other technologies replace human workers–or empower them? What new ways will human talent be discovered, developed, and deployed?

We are at an inflection point and employees moving forward will care more about the "how" than the "what" of work. In the past, we've seen workers unite to strike for increased wages and better working conditions. We're seeing something similar happen today. Employees are actively pushing back on employers and demanding progress on DEIB, company support of social-justice issues, and increased respect for employees as reflected in more flexible work schedules, hybrid workplaces, and more. Join us as we discuss how to use a new organizational framework of social capital theory to identify and measure the pro-social behaviors that employees are increasingly demanding to see moving forward.
