Highlights from Day 1 of the Great Place To Work Conference
The most remarkable thing about the Great Place To Work Conference is the shared aspiration of the leaders assembled there. They all want to create great workplaces. Sure, the conversation may focus on increasing employee engagement, or understanding how workplace trust impacts financial returns, or how a different emphasis and approach to employee wellness, diversity, career pathing, etc, impact the employee experience.
We can get pretty granular. But at the heart of is all is this grand, shared aspiration for greatness. Greatness. What a powerful concept! We’re not just talking about being like everyone else, or being passable or good-enough, we’re focused on being great. I find it mind boggling.
Today we heard keynotes by John Mackey, co-Founder and CEO of Whole Foods, Dr. John Noseworthy, President and CEO of Mayo Clinic, and Jeffrey Katzenberg, Founder and President of DreamWorks Animation. Despite the vast differences in their businesses, a few themes came through loud and clear from all three of them: Purpose, Authenticity, and Trust.
