Description
Can anything erase the historic tension between employers and workers, create trust and leave both parties better off? Groundbreaking new research from Accenture is paving the way for a new paradigm in modern business: Companies that help employees truly thrive, personally as well as professionally, are the ones that will win in the market of the future. While some leaders have long been sympathetic to this idea, the business case was harder to prove — until now. Ellyn Shook, Chief Leadership and Human Resources Officer of Accenture, and David Rodriguez, CHRO of Marriott, describe how they collaborated on Accenture’s “Care to Do Better” report, and explain its revolutionary stance: Caring for employees across personal and financial dimensions is not only the best way to unlock people’s true potential, it’s better for business.This week's guests: Cameron Flowers - Founder and CEO, Floreo LabsDr. Kelly Monahan - Global Lead Talent Researcher, Principal Director, Accenture ResearchEllyn Shook - Chief Leadership and Human Resources OfficerDr. David Rodriguez - Global Chief HR Officer, Marriott InternationalFran Katsoudas - Chief People, Policy and Purpose Officer, Cisco

Why Business Leaders Must Become Tech Leaders: Until 2020, many companies believed they were further along in their digital evolution than they actually were. The pandemic revealed the truth about that technology gap — and also the immense opportunity it presents for organizations willing to change. In this conversation with Dr. Mona Flores, head of medical A.I. at NVIDIA; Port of Rotterdam C.E.O. Allard Castelein and Accenture’s C.T.O. Paul Daugherty, we learn how some enterprises reimagined their systems to leverage technology, say good-bye to ‘the way we’ve always done things’ and meet the needs of the moment. The leaders who master change embody the trends outlined in Accenture’s Technology Vision 2021 report. by Built for Change
