As we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, companies are eager to define and transition to a post-pandemic normal. Yet, with new hybrid work models, increasing employee attrition across industries, and continued uncertainty about the lasting impacts of the pandemic period on the employment relationship, companies are facing a host of talent challenges.  This CAHRS series of working groups is aimed at helping our partner companies think through critical talent-related challenges and opportunities associated with current transition.  Ideal attendees to these sessions include individuals responsible for leading different talent initiatives within their organization.

In this fourth working group of the series, Professor Rebecca Kehoe will lead a discussion about how companies are addressing challenges associated with building and maintaining employee engagement during the post-pandemic transition.  Some of the questions that will guide our discussion will include:

•    In what ways have your organization’s expectations and goals related to employee engagement changed?

•    What are the key challenges you’re seeing in maintaining employee engagement in the post-pandemic period? Are you seeing any new challenges?

•    What are the steps you’re taking to build and maintain employee engagement in the post-pandemic workplace?

•    How are you assessing employee engagement? Have the ways you think about measuring engagement changed?

About our CAHRS Series of Working Groups

The CAHRS Series of working groups are designed to examine a particular theme or topic from a number of different perspectives. The other sessions included in the “Talent Management during the Post-Pandemic Transition” working group series are listed below and can be found in the events section of the CAHRS website.  

•    Session 1: Improving the Candidate Experience (September 9th, 1:00-2:30pm ET)
•    Session 2: Managing Employee Turnover and Worker Mobility (September 21st, 12:00-1:30pm ET)
•    Session 3: Evolving Learning and Development (October 5th, 1:00-2:30pm ET)

Our virtual working groups are kept small (15-25 participants) to allow for rich discussion and best practice sharing.  Given the limited size of each session, we ask that you only register for a session if you will be able to attend for the duration.  Prior to the session, attendees should give some thought to the questions included in the description, so they are prepared to share with the group.  We also strongly prefer that participants be on camera during the session to allow for more engaging interaction.  If for some reason after you sign up for the working group, something comes up last minute (especially while many of us are working from home), it would be great to get even a last minute e-mail advising us that you cannot attend as we sometimes have a waiting list.
