Session: The 57% Problem: The Antidote to Employees Leaving and Culture Plummeting (And What Executives Can Do About It)

If your managers don't know how to lead human-centric, your culture initiatives will fail, no matter how well-intentioned.
In this session, I'll expose the hidden training crisis undermining culture transformation efforts and share the five keys to building human-centric leadership throughout your organization.
I'll share how organizations that shifted to human-centric cultures achieved measurable results in retention, team growth, and revenue, and how cascading this approach from the C-suite through every layer of leadership turns your managers from culture liabilities into culture champions.
