What can employers do to ensure all aspects of an organization are human-centric? How do leaders model behaviours in managers that promote wellbeing and high performance? What can employers do to empower work-life alignment? How can employers support people to make choices on where they work and how. And what is the role of the office today and tomorrow?

    Artificial Intelligence, Data and Personalization as the Power for Employee Wellbeing

    How can employers use AI, data and personalization and ensure wellbeing at work equates to high performance and improved productivity? What more can be done to increase positive outcomes that ensure reduced burnout numbers, high performing teams and increased inclusion through AI? How does AI identify where groups are being left out and create wellbeing programs where all can thrive? How AI, data and personalization elevates engagement through data-driven wellness solutions, like AI-powered coaching and health analytics which create customized wellbeing plans that improve employee retention and performance. How AI can promote cultures by prioritizing emotional intelligence, trust, and mental health support, experience stronger engagement, lower turnover, and higher innovation? How AI can help organizations embed wellbeing into the employee experience to attract and retain top talent, especially Gen Z and Millennials?
