Why Are We Here? Create Work Culture Everyone Wants
-
There's a post-pandemic phenomenon that people are experiencing but can't quite put their finger on. Work is evolving, and so are employees’ expectations of it. I think most of us would agree, it still feels out of sync. Leaders have been tasked with navigating these changes in real time, without a playbook. Meanwhile, the workforce is in search of more purpose in their work, yet unsure of how or where to find it. You've likely found yourself pondering, "Why am I here?"
In her provocative new book, Why Are We Here, to be released by Harvard Business Press, Jennifer Moss pinpoints what is missing from work today. Jennifer guides attendees to the forefront of this significant and historical change. Incorporating dialogues with leading academic researchers, interviews with CEOs from the most respected and admired companies worldwide, and discussions with employees across various industries and roles, Jennifer equips attendees with the understanding needed to answer the question for themselves and the people they lead: "Why are we here?"

Jumping The Timeline: The Future Of Work Has Arrived
-
Crises, climate change, sudden remote work, AI, generational displacement, and more – acted as a catalyst that moved us out of our current trajectory and popped us into the multiverse of work. This has been jarring – in most part because of the speed of which the world changed. In the last three years, Gallup finds that younger workers’ FOBO (Fear of Becoming Obsolete) has doubled. Our brains naturally want to stick to old patterns and behaviors but on this new timeline, it’s an unworkable strategy.
In this compelling new talk by globally renowned workplace culture strategist, Jennifer Moss leverages behavioral and neurosciences research to explain change resistance and how to shift that into a future readiness mindset. Award-winning author and journalist, Moss dives into new approaches to leadership to motivate and engage individuals and teams in a fundamentally different experience of work.
Takeaways Include:
Why thinking about the future of work as “the new normal” actually holds us back.
Understanding the future workforce through the lens of behavioral and neurosciences research.
What is FOBO and why does it matter? (Fear of Becoming Obsolete)
Practical Strategies
Future competitiveness in a polycrisis – how to build and maintain a healthy and high-performing work culture while global uncertainty and instability persist.
Finding the goldilocks zone between AI integration and workforce sustainability
Tactics to help reduce fears of obsolescence across generations.
Finding compromise in the remote/hybrid/in-person debate by changing the narrative from flexibility to freedom.
Easy-to-operationalize tactics for better engagement of remote and hybrid teams.
How to lead in the era of personalization – what does the increasing adoption of niche benefits tell us – i.e. “Grandternity” leave, “pawternity” leaves and pet bereavement leaves, baby bonuses, menopause friendly workplaces, wellness reimbursements, “radical flexibility”, employee concierges, and more.

Currently, there are five different generations coming together at work. Traditionalists, Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and GenZ. Up soon? Alphas. The labels are less important than the characteristics that make these generations unique. Boomers are retiring at record rates, Millennials and Xers are working less hours, while Gen Zs are disinterested in traditional work roles. All generations are struggling with burnout and disengagement. As a talent shortage looms large, addressing the needs of each group will be critical.
For leaders who want to bridge generational divides while ensuring that each group feels heard, award-winning journalist and author, Jennifer Moss, has the answers. Based on her insightful new book, Why Are We Here? Moss unpacks how to better relate to each generations' shifting motivations and mindsets while underlining the importance of belonging and friendships in this current era of loneliness and isolation.
Takeaways Include:
The economic and environmental drivers impacting generational attitudes and behaviors.
The biggest generational trends changing work (e.g. social media rebellion, retiree exodus, millennial financial well-being, narrowing of executive pipelines for Gen X women, etc.)
Practical Strategies
Research-backed strategies to reduce ageism in the workplace.
How to personalize engagement and retention strategies based on age diversity.
Knowing the critical health and employee benefits each generation needs and wants.
How to build and foster belonging in an age-diverse workforce.
