Whether it’s the current macroeconomic situation affecting the tech industry, or the global pandemic, or the 2008 global economic crisis before, there will always be uncertainty.
Even smaller crises have the impact of disrupting everyday life. Imagine the impact on Black employees during the George Floyd protests; or on AAPI employees over the past year. It is unrealistic to expect that employees are bringing their full and best selves during these moments.
As a leader, how you show up and support your teams during these times can determine whether they will weather through or whether your teams and organizations will experience an “unexpected drop in engagement and retention”.
In this session, I’d like to have a candid conversation with you about what it means to lead during these moments; why it’s not “just a DEI issue” and how you can create safe spaces for employees to feel seen, heard and understood.
