What Story Does Your Company Culture Tell? (On Demand)

Culture is consistently listed as a top priority, yet companies are unclear on how to create a flexible culture for a changing business environment. It can be the determining factor in your company's success and employee's engagement and growth. Every culture tells a story. Knowing the story your culture tells gives the true experience of work to help continually shape what is desired — including employee engagement, learning and development, recognition, and psychological safety.


Moderated by Degreed Chief CLO Kelly Palmer and a special keynote speaker — Leadership Consultant & TED Speaker Karen Eber, former Head of Culture, Chief Learning Officer and Head of Leadership Development at General Electric and Deloitte. You’ll explore how learning and development can help improve culture to create a more satisfied, productive workforce.
