Perspectives: Breaking Free

How workplace rebels are challenging business as usual.

Our workplaces have been transformed by remote work, post-pandemic shockwaves, economic contraction, and the arrival of Gen Z.

So why are so many of us stuck in the “business as usual” rut?

Thankfully, a new wave of workplace rebels are shaking things up. They’re teaching us how to break free from the work mold we learned decades—even centuries—ago. They’re proving that we can improve not only our work lives but our lives outside of work, too.

We’re heading into a brave new world of work.

Are you feeling rebellious? Come join us to:

  • Discover how executives, HR leaders, managers, and workers are each disrupting established norms.
  • Identify the most common obstacles to a new and improved way to approach work.
  • Learn which techniques are required to support necessary improvements to the way we collectively work.
  • Assess your own “rebellion rating” to identify new avenues of growth and worker well-being.

Bonus for our live attendees… tune in live for 1 HRCI and 1 SHRM credit!
