Work Life is Changing!

Company culture has had a watershed moment as it is being reshaped by the pandemic, the rise of Millennials and Gen Z in the workforce, as well as by the so called "Great Resignation" (a higher-than-normal number of people leaving their jobs after the COVID pandemic ends and life returns to "normal"). As a result, employees are re-evaluating what matters most to them. If companies want to attract, retain, and grow the talent pool that will bring them sustained success, they need to fine-tune their culture to meet these expectations.

There is a need to adjust culture and policies to ensure employees feel cared about as human beings, not just as employees, making flexible work arrangements permanent, investing in wellness programs, and boosting diversity and inclusion efforts. Employers and employees need to build a new, more dynamic relationship based on trust and empathy.

We are delighted to have Cecilia Sandberg​, Senior Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer at Atlas Copco Group​, as our guest for this in-person roundtable. Cecilia will share her observations and learnings from the past two years and, based on these, her reflections on what employers need to focus on during the next couple of years.

Further to Cecilia's insights at the roundtable, we would like to invite all participants to a discussion on the following topics:

• What have we learnt during the past two years?
• What are the pros and cons of a hybrid workplace?
• Who are the winners and who are the losers?
• What about the impact on gender equality?
• How does one build trust and what will be the requirements on leadership in the future?
• How do we ensure well-being?
