How Employee Experience Can Boost your Bottom Line
10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
A lot of programs are dedicated to customers and ensuring they are satisfied, but what about employees? How do you ensure they feel engaged at work? How do you ensure they feel respected, valued, and aligned with the company mission and vision? Hear how Jalen applies his passion for people, using technology and companywide monthly themes to accomplish these goals. Because in the end, happy employees are far more likely to lead to happy customers. And happy employees are far more likely to stay put when recruiters come calling.

CLOSING KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Humanized Commerce – Driving Brand Purpose in a Digital World
2:15 PM – 3:30 PM
The future of commerce will be driven by more technology and less human interaction. Building brands in this environment will deliver holistic, connected experiences while remaining human-solution oriented at the core. This discussion will be about how technologies can drive new and rich
brand activation and the need to maintain a healthy balance of purpose and personalization to ensure the activations are human-centered. In addition, how we can intentionally organize and guide our teams to foster this.
