Demographic and societal shifts are fundamentally disrupting workplace dynamics, challenging our ability to attract and retain top talent at a time when people have choices. Workplace instability is the modern-day “Hidden Factory”, costing organizations millions of dollars while also creating workplaces where people feel they are declining or simply surviving.
We need to modernize our workplace ecosystems so we can consistently have the right people in the right roles with the right skills and the right attitudes. We need to actually ‘walk the talk’ when we say that people are the organizations’ greatest resource.
Join Robert Martichenko as he addresses these needs and connects decades of work in Lean and Operational Excellence to understand the path to create a Meaningful Employment Environment (MEE™) for all team members.
In this thought-provoking keynote address, Robert will challenge current thinking and advocate a path where we recognize that organizational prosperity and team member prosperity are inextricably linked. In the end, this engaging presentation will demonstrate how we can build a workplace that is designed to meet the modern challenges of a shrinking workforce, changing employee attitudes and the recognition that People are in fact the greatest resource of the organization.
