Dr. Rosalind Cohen

Imagine a place where everyone felt valued in their roles at work. It was a place where they were engaged in the work they were hired to do. It was a place that encouraged connection between the work and their colleagues, so much so that they gave more than was required. It was a place where people were a part of a culture that focused on the success of the individual and the organization. It was a place where they belonged. Increased employee engagement, enhanced innovation and creativity, improved employee well-being, and increased diversity and inclusion are just some outcomes associated with cultures of inclusion, belonging, and connection. Yet, few organizations know how to actually create these cultures. This keynote balances research, real-life experiences, and personal anecdotes that ground the importance of inclusive leadership and connected work cultures. You’ll also walk away with practical and actionable strategies o begin your journey to creating a culture of belonging.

Let’s face it – organizational success hinges on cultivating a purpose-driven culture. But actually creating that culture is much easier said than done, especially since you can’t control the internal motivations of employees. Sounds pretty straightforward, right? But getting everyone on the same page, especially when it comes to what motivates us deep down, isn’t easy. We’re talking about crafting a culture where every person feels like they’re part of something bigger, something meaningful. This is no small feat because you can’t just flick a switch and change someone’s motivation or internal drive. In this keynote, DR. Roz unpacks the Talent Acquisition Model for Employee Engagement (aka TAMEE). She illuminates the critical link between a robust talent acquisition model and organizational success, emphasizing the importance of focusing on recruitment efforts alongside management and retention strategies.
