In this keynote address Jacob will explore three environments that create employee experiences: digital (or technology), cultural, and physical. Attendees will learn what makes up these three environments, what some of the world’s most forward thinking companies are doing, and how they can start making changes to their organization’s to focus on the employee experience as a way to attract and retain top talent.

"Are you Enabling Mediocre Leadership?"
Friday Morning’s Keynote Sponsored by Lee Hecht Harrison
Dr. Vince Molinaro is an author, speaker and leadership adviser and Global Managing Director of Strategic Solutions practice with Lee Hecht Harrison. His passion and focus have been to help senior leaders and executives create compelling organizations that drive sustainable growth. How? By building strong
leadership cultures where every leader demonstrates personal clarity and commitment to the execution of the business strategy. Dr. Molinaro has been featured in the Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Inc., Oracle Profit and CEO World and is the author of The New York Times Best Selling book, The Leadership Contract (Wiley, 2016).
The stakes in leadership have always been high—but they are getting higher. At the very moment that we need our leaders to be truly great and accountable, we see many leaders who disappoint and fail us. Only 37 percent of organizations are satisfied with the level of leadership accountability demonstrated by their leaders. Other studies show that only 7 percent of employees currently have trust and confidence in their senior leaders to look out for their best interest.
These statistics strike at the heart of the leadership accountability gap that exists in organizations today. This session tackles this problem head on and explores why leaders can’t settle anymore and must commit to do better.
You'll learn:
•Why leaders can’t afford to settle anymore and must commit to do better
•Why a leadership culture is the real differentiator between organizations that sink or swim
•How to cascade leadership accountability deep into an organization
