Erica Keswin is an Author, Speaker, Podcast Host and Workplace Strategist who is a trusted guide for companies around the world looking for ways to connect their teams, increase engagement, and create a human workplace. Recorded live in New York City, Mike Petrusky asks Erica to update the audience on the insights she will share in her forthcoming book, “The Retention Revolution: 7 Surprising (and Very Human!) Ways to Keep Employees Connected to Your Company”. Mike also describes some lessons learned during WORKTECH’s Financial Workplace Conference 2023 and asks Erica to share her perspectives on the challenges facing leaders today. Should policies be built using mandates for return to office, should we try to magnetize the workplace, or will success require a combination of both? Mike and Erica explore the role of facility management and other disciplines in the future of work and offer practical advice to help you be a workplace innovator in your organization!
