ReCulturing Keynote
Melissa Daimler's modern definition of culture is more of a verb than a noun. Culture is not something we have, but rather something we do, and her powerful ReCulturing framework will show how senior living leaders can directly drive strong culture - and ultimately long-term hiring and retention success - through three key elements:
▢ Understanding the behaviors expected throughout your organization.
▢ Identifying the systems that help sustain those behaviors.
▢ Shaping practices that integrate "why you work" and "how you do it" into the employee experience.
You'll hear real-life stories of what has and hasn't worked at influential companies, including Melissa's own past experiences at Adobe, Twitter, and WeWork.
