Talent Development Thought Leaders Series Wrong Fit, Right Fit: The Role of L&D In Upending the Crisis of Commitment October 12, 2023 12:00-1:00 PM – Virtual Event How do we make work, less work? We are in the midst of a crisis of commitment in the workplace—organizations are searching for engaged employees (“talent”) and employees are looking for a place to thrive. Both are struggling. What if the issue isn’t good or bad culture, but the fit between our ideal work way of working day-to-day and that of the companies we join. If we fit, we hum, we connect, we create momentum and do our best work with grace and ease because our creative energy is not eaten up in coordination cost and deciphering how to be a success–we just are. But the wrong fit has serious consequences. It can erode performance, drive up frustration, and steal our competence and competence. The good news is, there is a way forward and it depends in large part on talent development + learning professionals rethinking the part we play. This program is FREE for all ATD-GTC members. Members may bring one complimentary, registered guest.
