You’ll learn:

  • How to navigate whether you respond to issues with respect to your employee feedback, business imperatives and reputational considerations
  • Employee listening strategies that identify emerging employee concerns and potential employee activists before they escalate
  • Insights on how to ensure purpose communications have credibility, and authenticity, for meaningful and measurable impact
