3-Part Series: Seizing Opportunity with the 2021 Global Culture Report

Part 2: The Future of Technology and Recognition

Moderated by Meghan Stettler of O.C. Tanner Institute

Join thought leaders from the O.C. Tanner Institute for part two of our three-part webinar series featuring in-depth insights from the recent release of the 2021 Global Culture Report.

Think of 2020 as more than a year of crisis, but also a chance to seize opportunity and prepare for the decade ahead. The courageous organizations that prioritize their employees and embrace new technology, interconnectedness, and modern leadership stand to reap huge rewards.

In part two of the series, Dr. Alexander Lovell and Clair Bidez of the O.C. Tanner Institute share why technology readiness and company culture are fundamentally linked. Cultures aren’t always ready to integrate new technology, but research shows that it’s not technology itself that employees fear—but how organizations will use it.

During this Global Culture Report deep-dive webinar you’ll:

  • Uncover the data and perspectives of more than 40,000 employees and leaders worldwide
  • Discover how successful recognition programs blend tech and touch
  • Gain insights into future trends of workplace recognition
