Building Culture on the Frontline: Up Close with DHL Express

If you google ‘great workplace culture’, you're likely to be inundated with images of collaborative workspaces, team-building events and office celebrations. But the vast majority of employees at the Best Workplaces don’t work in offices – they work on the front lines in restaurants, stores, factories and warehouses.

Join Alison Grenier from Great Place to Work and Ewa Maggiotto, Vice President of HR at DHL Express as they explore why it’s so important that your company culture is rooted in a great frontline experience.

The Power of Purpose: Fostering Purpose-Driven Cultures for Enhanced Performance

You’ll be hard pressed to find a leader who says purpose doesn’t matter. But you’ll be equally hard pressed to find leaders who treat purpose as a business imperative — unless you’re one of Canada’s Best Workplaces, where purpose is prioritized.  

Each year, Great Place to Work recognizes the Best Workplaces in Canada based on direct feedback from their employees on levels of trust within their organizations. This years’ winners have found that  the way to inspire, engage, and retain their people lies in purpose: providing employees with work that is more than “just a job.” 

In this session, you’ll learn why purpose-driven cultures outperform their peers, and how you can take small steps to connect all employees with their purpose to drive stronger business outcomes.

Manifest Inclusion: Shaping the Future of Work FOR ALL

All people everywhere deserve to work in an organization where they trust their leaders, take pride in what they do, and enjoy their colleagues. More and more organizations realize that high-trust workplaces, where every employee can reach their potential, are good for business and good for society. 

In this session, we’ll deconstruct the concept of workplace inclusion and share our new research that shows how the most inclusive workplaces are able to cultivate the human potential of all their people---and outperform their competitors. 

1. Learn about the difference between diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. 
   
   
2. Learn how workplace inclusion can drive business results by creating an environment where everyone can bring their best to work.
