Welcome to the 2nd Annual Employee Experience & Communications Conference.

In this fast-paced forum, you'll get to know your fellow peers, their biggest internal communications challenges, and a few fun facts.

Employees are bombarded with emails, announcements, meetings, notifications and competing priorities, making it increasingly difficult for important information to break through. But simply sending fewer messages isn't always the answer.

This session examines how organizations can identify the sources of communication overload, determine what employees actually need to know and create a more intentional approach to information delivery. Explore ways to prioritize messages, reduce unnecessary noise, improve channel effectiveness and make internal communications easier to navigate, understand and act on.

How can internal communications move beyond delivering information to actually influencing what employees do, while ensuring employee feedback leads to visible organizational action? In this combined case study, Alyssa Hagan of MGT explores how communications can be designed around meaningful employee behaviors and outcomes, rather than simply measuring opens, clicks and reach.

The presentation also examines how to turn employee feedback into practical improvements, demonstrate that leadership is listening and close the loop with employees. Walk away with ideas for making communications more effective and employee listening more meaningful.

Enjoy complimentary coffee, tea, and other refreshments as you network with your peers.

Engagement starts with connection, and belonging is what makes it last. In a time when employees are seeking purpose, community, and support, organizations must create experiences that help people feel valued, included, and connected to something bigger than themselves. This session explores practical strategies for fostering engagement and belonging in ways that strengthen culture, improve retention, and enhance the overall employee experience.

Walk away ready to:

• Create intentional experiences that strengthen employee connection and belonging
• Foster a culture where employees feel valued, supported, and included
• Use communication to reinforce purpose, culture, and shared values
• Build engagement strategies that resonate across diverse teams and work environments
• Strengthen retention and performance by creating a more connected employee experience

Organizational change can create uncertainty, confusion and resistance, but how employees experience that change often comes down to how well it is communicated. Whether navigating restructuring, new leadership, shifting priorities or new ways of working, organizations need more than announcements and updates to bring employees along. They need a thoughtful communication strategy that helps people understand what's changing, why it matters and what it means for them.

Explore how Siemens Global Solutions successfully managed a large organizational change that built trust and engagement and equipped managers to guide their teams through uncertainty. Learn how to address employee concerns, reduce change fatigue and create communication experiences that support understanding, alignment and successful adoption.

Attendees will walk away with:

• Strategies for communicating organizational change with clarity, consistency and transparency
• Ways to address employee uncertainty, resistance and change fatigue
• Practical approaches for equipping managers to communicate and reinforce change
• Techniques used to gather employee feedback and respond to it
• Methods for measuring employee understanding, engagement and adoption throughout the change process

From recruitment and onboarding to career development, organizational change and offboarding, communication shapes how employees experience every stage of their relationship with an organization. Yet these moments are often managed separately, creating inconsistent and disconnected experiences. This session explores how to take a more intentional, employee-centered approach to communication across the employee journey.

Learn how to identify the moments that matter most, anticipate employee information needs and create more seamless experiences that strengthen connection, build trust and support engagement from day one onward.

Take advantage of this interactive break to connect with our sponsors and experience their products and services firsthand. Each sponsor will host live demos at their table, giving you the chance to explore innovative solutions, ask questions, and find the tools that best support your work.

Employee engagement scores are one thing. Getting employees to care, participate, communicate, collaborate and stay is another. This panel brings together leaders from different industries to unpack what is really driving disconnection in today's workforce, from communication overload and weak manager relationships to organizational change, inconsistent culture and employees simply not seeing how their work connects to something meaningful.

Organizations continue to introduce new platforms, technologies and workplace initiatives in the name of improving productivity and employee experience. But are these investments actually making work easier, or are they creating more complexity for employees?

This session challenges organizations to examine the relationship between technology, productivity and the everyday employee experience. Explore how to identify tools and processes that create unnecessary friction, reduce digital fatigue and ensure workplace improvements solve real employee problems rather than adding another layer of work.

Speaker TBA!

Employee experience is often discussed in terms of engagement scores, satisfaction surveys and employee sentiment, but these measures don't always demonstrate the impact of EX initiatives on the organization. This session explores how to move beyond surface-level metrics and build a stronger approach to measuring employee experience.

Discover which indicators can help reveal the relationship between employee experience, retention, productivity, performance and organizational outcomes. Learn how to connect employee insights to business priorities, communicate results to leadership and demonstrate the value of investing in a better employee experience.

Organizations spend enormous amounts of time defining culture, values, EVP, employee journeys and communication strategies. But what happens when the experience employees actually have doesn't match the experience leadership believes it is delivering?
