2016 WLC

Working Mother Media’s premier Work Life Congress introduces a fresh and engaging slate of thought leaders and session formats - and flips the page on a new chapter of opportunity, possibility and conversation. Re-convening leaders from varied disciplines across organizations who have a dedicated interest, passion and responsibility for making good companies GREAT places to work - the focus for this year’s Congress is on: TIME. SPACE. WORKPLACE.

What are the challenges, opportunities and options available in an ever-evolving world of work that today spans borders, cultures, time zones, and physical space? How can individuals, teams, and organizations think creatively about the ways to work and optimize value, performance and experience? With tremendous emphasis placed on culture, flexibility and supportive leadership - and a healthy dose of wellness woven throughout - Work Life Congress returns to enable best practice sharing and to ignite future-forward conversation.

In an increasingly mobile and flexible workplace, how do companies retain and develop top employees, nurture supportive manager-subordinate relationships, and maintain engagement across time, space, and the complex and nuanced global workplace? What is the secret sauce of cultures that get it right? How can leaders build and promote an ever-evolving, nimble, flexible company culture where all employees see themselves as able to perform at their peak and ultimately be successful - howsoever they define that success?

It’s about supporting, encouraging, and inspiring leaders; facilitating idea-sharing; breaking down barriers; thinking about the future for the next generational cast coming through; building resources and finding great ways to leverage all offerings…so that organizations become the best possible enablers of a healthy, happy, high-functioning workforce.
