Being Intentional About Engagement, Onboarding and Retention
Hosted by Bravely

Co-Founder and President

Amy Meichner
Executive Vice President Human Resources, US Office Division
Brookfield Properties
A strong relationship between a new hire and their employer is imperative — especially during the first few months at a new job. 20% of all employee turnover happens during the first 90 days. Together, we’ll assess the gaps that exist in your employee experience starting from that moment your new hire says yes. Get ahead of employee attrition by implementing a clear engagement strategy from the moment they onboard.
Join this session to discuss:
- How to ensure new hires feel connected during onboarding and beyond
- Strategies to foster engagement across your organization in the world of hybrid work
- Ways to effectively assess and proactively adjust your existing retention solutions
Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic. These private, closed-door discussions encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to CHROs).

How your employees engage with their workplace, their work, and business goals is vital to any organization’s success — but most organizations just aren’t hitting the mark. Harvard Business Review notes that “nearly half of employees say leadership is minimally or not at all committed to improving culture.” Considering this disappointing statistic, involving employees is a critical way to improve and maintain a stellar company culture and experience. This is difficult to get right, and even more difficult in a hybrid and remote world.
Join this boardroom session to discuss:
- The impact of the future of work in how and what CHROs need to measure
- How to move from measurement to action around employee experience
- Examples of strategies to understand workforce needs, tap into employee voices and create buy-in
