In this UC Today roundtable, host Kristian McCann brings together a panel of culture and HCM leaders to explore how organizations can build cultures that don’t just survive disruption, but become stronger because of it. You’ll hear from experts including Alice Ferretti of HumansR; Meisha-ann Martin of Workhuman; James Wilkson of AEC; Heidi Barnett of isolved; and Roberta Terranova of Wildix.
Together, they dig into how AI, hybrid work, and a return to the office are reshaping culture, what signals show it’s starting to fray, and what practical steps leaders can take to rebuild trust and engagement. Expect straight talk on what actually works, where well‑intentioned culture initiatives go wrong, and how leadership behavior shows up in day‑to‑day employee experience.
Talking points include:
- Why culture is becoming the true competitive differentiator in an era where every company has access to similar AI tools.
- The early warning signs of a fraying culture: survey response rates, middle‑management burnout, silence in all‑hands, and slowing decision‑making.
- How recognition programs and people analytics can turn values into daily behaviors and create actionable “culture data.”
- Practical ways leaders can use communication, transparency, and intentional middle‑manager support to rebuild trust and protect the customer experience.
Next Steps:
- Share this roundtable with your HR, EX, and line-of-business leaders to spark an honest conversation about culture signals in your own organization.
- Review your current recognition, survey, and collaboration tools to see where you can better connect them to values and measurable culture outcomes.
