Kindness & Culture: Making the Connection
\nRegister Here<\/a> <\/span>| November 4 | 12:00-1:00p.m. ET\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What if one of the most powerful ways to shape workplace culture is also one of the most human?<\/span><\/p>\n

In this free and interactive webinar, Jamie<\/span> Graceffa explores the connection between kindness, culture, and the employee experience, drawing on his experiences as both an employee and HR leader, along with data on what helps people feel seen, heard, valued, and like they matter at work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Together, we\u2019ll challenge some common assumptions about kindness. Is being nice the same as being kind? Is civility enough? And what does kindness actually look like in the everyday moments that shape the employee experience?<\/span><\/p>\n

Participants will explore practical acts and behaviors that can be embedded throughout the moments that matter in the employee lifecycle. And then participants will step out of their HR role for a moment and consider their own experience as an employee: What do I need? What would make me better? What do I want to be known for?<\/span><\/p>\n

Participants will leave with practical ideas for using kindness to enhance the employee experience, not only for the people they support, but for themselves as well.<\/span><\/p>\n
