Allison VanKuiken – Monday 8/26, 2:00pm – 3:15pm ☀️Sunshine Session☀️
 The landscape for LGBTQ inclusion is changing every day. In the US, an estimated 1.4 million adults in the US identify as transgender. A study put out last year by the Williams Institute discovered that 27% of youth in California are identified as transgender or gender non- conforming. When thinking about younger generations, we know that in the year 2025, millennials will represent 75% of the workforce. And millennials are more than 2xs as likely to identify as LGBTQ and more likely to identify as non-binary or genderfluid than previous generations. For employers, it is no longer a matter of what to do if they have transgender employees, but a matter of preparing for when they have transgender employees.
This session will provide an environment for professionals to elevate their cultural competency of transgender inclusion. Learn important human resources information about how to hire and support talented employees who are transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC).
Topics covered will include:
• The business case for TGNC inclusion
• The gender spectrum & transgender identities
• Coming out & navigating transition in the workplace
• Concrete actions for employers to elevate the level of inclusion in the workplace
Allison VanKuiken is Executive Director at Trans Can Work.

Ben Travis – Tuesday 8/27, 11:15am – 12:30pm
 Are your employees engaged? How can you tell? What is engagement? Employee Engagement is one of the most popular yet misunderstood topics in HR. It requires much more than the annual employee engagement survey. This session will demystify employee engagement, share the advantages of optimal employee engagement, challenge HR leaders to examine their own practices, educate the audience on data-driven methods (based on never before seen data), and inspire attendees to more purposefully engage their own teams. For those who want to better engage their own teams but don’t know where to start or even those who’ve attempted to improve their own engagement programs but have hit a wall, this presentation will kick-start a new level of employee engagement.
Ben Travis is Customer Growth Manager at Bonusly.

Gregg Lederman – Tuesday 8/27, 11:15am – 12:30pm ☀️Sunshine Session☀️
 Eighty-plus years of research has proven that humans CRAVE three things that enable them to become more motivated: Respect: Help me feel respected for the work I do. Purpose: Show me how what I do has purpose, makes a difference, and is relevant to the organization. Relationship: Help me build stronger connections with people, especially my immediate manager/supervisor. Lederman says, “We, as humans, love recognition, but we struggle to give enough of it. Whether we want to admit it or not, recognition plays a huge role in our everyday work lives— in our happiness, well-being, and working relationships. Learning to strategically recognize employees is the most effective and efficient way to give people what they CRAVE. Doing so leads to accelerated improvements in employee engagement and the work culture, which together inspire a more consistent customer experience.” In this highly interactive session, supervisors, managers, and executives commit to the 10 Minutes By Friday™ habit for giving people more of what they CRAVE! In return, they become better managers and leaders who are able to achieve the business results that matter most to their team, department, and/or organization.
Gregg Lederman is a professional speaker and the President of Employee Engagement at Reward Gateway, .

Shari Harley – Tuesday 8/27, 2:00pm – 3:15pm
 When you feel depleted and exhausted at the end of a workday, chances are, it wasn’t the work that tired you out, but the people you work with. People can be difficult, hitting CC and Reply All when everyone doesn’t need to know, missing deadlines, talking about others when they’re not there . . . the list is endless. Difficult people create unnecessary complexity, strife, and worst of all, stress. What if suffering at work was optional? What if you could work with just about anyone? Get easy-to-use techniques to smooth out even the most challenging workplace relationships. Find out why difficult people are so difficult. Get some practice to prevent difficult behavior. And get the words to tell people to back off or step up.
Shari Harley is President at Candid Culture, Inc.
