Culture at Every Step: Redesigning the Talent Journey
Oct 22, 2025 — 12:00 pm - 12:30 PMStage SO5

Description
As talent expectations shift and competition for top performers increases, organizations are rethinking how they attract, engage, and retain people. This session explores the changing landscape of talent management, where culture is no longer an HR side dish, it's the main course.
From fostering meaningful relationships and creating mission-aligned recruitment processes to enabling leaders and teams to live the company's values daily, we'll walk through a real-life example of how focusing on culture across the talent lifecycle can drive performance, retention, and employee happiness.
The session will highlight practical strategies to:
• Assess and evolve company culture to support growth
• Integrate cultural fit into hiring without bias
• Build trust and connection from first interview to career development
• Make culture a leadership responsibility, not an HR checkbox
• Develop initiatives that foster cross-team relationships and pride in the organization
• Whether you're transforming your recruitment approach or rethinking how to keep talent engaged, this is your roadmap for making culture your competitive edge.
