Robertson Auditorium Bringing Pets Into the Family of Benefits: How It Contributes to a Culture of Inclusivity

HR benefits leaders have traditionally centered employee benefits around families with kids under 18, despite research showing that only a third of the U.S. workforce meets that definition. At the same time, 70% of Americans own at least one pet and that figure is expected to grow by 14% by 2030. Notably, 95% of pet owners say they consider their animal companions to be integral members of their families. Through interactive conversations and access to new research, participants will gain deeper insights into the ways the bond between pets and their owners influence the employee experience. We explore how incorporating pet benefits into your overall rewards strategy can foster a more inclusive culture, while driving employee engagement, retention, and productivity. The goal: creating a more inclusive, thriving workplace culture that recognizes the value of pets as essential family members.

Robertson Auditorium Employee Engagement and Recognition: Trends & Tips, With Help From Coach Ted Lasso

How is employee experience changing in the current environment? We'll take a close look, then explore how companies are navigating flexible work and creating a sense of recognition and belonging. This is critical to creating a healthy work environment, yet there's a disconnect between what managers think they're doing and what workers perceive. With a few lessons from Ted Lasso, we'll show frameworks and strategies for creating a culture of recognition for the 2023 workforce.  This isn't necessarily easy, but as Ted says, "A challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn't it? If you're comfortable while you're doing it, you're probably doing it wrong."
