As we faced the challenges of 2020, organizations had to make critical choices for business priorities and resources to support their people.

At the height of remote work and quarantine, Qualtrics launched the Global Resilience Study, based on responses from over 17,000 participants on the factors most impacting the employee experiences–what employees felt like they were missing and what mattered most to them to feel safe and supported by their leaders.

The results crystallized a message we’ve seen before, but never at this scale – during times of disruption, your people want to be heard and be a part of the solution.

When leaders put their people first and show up with transparency in their decision making, engaged and resilient workforces follow.

Join this session to learn:

• Key insights we pulled from measuring employees on resiliency
• Changing factors driving employee experiences, engagement, and resilience
• Steps HR leaders can take to keep an engaged workforce
