Community Building in Crisis

The pandemic cut off the traditional ways we work together. HR leaders are still trying to figure out how to maintain a productive and engaged workforce driven by the goals of a shared company culture.

Companies must pivot and adapt to find new avenues to engage and inspire employees plus tell their . Meetups, workshops, and trade events have been swapped for digital content creation, webinars, and virtual meetings.

The Community Building In Crisis Summit will bring together brands and experts with a mutual interest in finding ways not just to survive but thrive. Join us as we present 15+ experts who’ll share their thoughts on how to come out the other side of the pandemic with more influence, larger networks and proven ways to remain at the centre of their communities.

The online event, co-produced by The HR Gazette and co-hosted by HRchat’s host Bill Banham is intended to be a catalyst for positive change and impact to get through the next year with resiliency, grit and determination so that no one is left behind.
