Fireside Chat: Who gets to write the new workplace rules? A multi generational debate

We have more generations represented at the HR table now than anytime in history.  The generations who wrote the rules, the generation that followed the rules, the generation that watched the rules break, and the youngest generations who never bought into them in the first place. They don't see AI the same way, they don't see work the same way, and they don't agree on what each generation owes the others anymore. This fireside with HR leaders represnting multiple generations puts that disagreement on stage to figure out together

What we'll dig into:

AI: What Each Generation Actually Thinks

Loyalty: the old deal was work hard, get rewarded, but what replaces loyalty as the thing that binds employer and employee now?

The Future of Work: Where does each generation actually think work is headed and do they even want the same things from it?

What Each Generation Gets Wrong About the Other: The assumptions older HR leaders make about Gen Z's "entitlement", and what Gen Z assumes about their bosses' resistance to change.
