ENGAGEMENT IS THE PAST, ENERGY IS THE FUTURE.

The 3 Most Critical U-Turns to Company Culture Initiatives That Need to Start Yesterday.

Anese Cavanaugh, Strategic Advisor, Author, CEO @ Active Choices

Organizations spend billions of dollars a year in engagement initiatives, training, and development, and lose billions more in disengagement. They spout trust, innovation, culture, and retention as priority mandates in their OKRs, yet, turnover and burnout are at an all-time high, and consumer trust is low. And now that we’re through the “quiet quitting” trend – “shadow-jobbing” is here. Amongst all this, as organizations work to address the problems of burnout and engagement with quick fixes, platitudes, apps, and 90-minute seminars, the real issues at hand go left unaddressed.  

In this session, Anese will share just-in-time insights, including:

  • The surprising data that undermines the status quo beliefs on the best way to build trust and innovation.

  • 3 warning signs that indicate the top talent you need to drive growth and innovation may have one foot out the door right now. 

  • A simple 7-Point survey to quickly assess your organization’s cultural health and innovation maturity. 

  • A proven 3-part methodology that enables your leadership and workforce to show up better instantaneously to quickly create a sustained boost of trust, collaboration, alignment and impact.

  • Real-world examples of organizations who are putting these strategies into action, including: Immediate impact, the biggest lessons learned, regrets, and pay-it-forward advice.

This must-attend session is custom-crafted for chief people officers, chief learning officers, chief innovation officers, and other top leaders who have a vested interest in being ahead of their competitors when it comes to being the market leader in innovation, people, and impact.

9:45-10:15

The Communications Decency Act or “CDA”, 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1), states, “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” Because the information supplied to this list is authored by users of VMS Accelerator’s, Inc. site, we cannot be legally regarded as the “publisher or speaker” of that information. The same law applies to sites like Facebook or GlassDoor – users who post information on these sites are responsible for what they write, but the operators of the sites are not. This is also consistent with our website Terms of Use.

The reasons for this law are to protect free speech and to encourage the availability of information on the Internet. See generally Batzel v. Smith, 333 F.3d 1018, 1027-28 (9th Cir. 2003) (recognizing, “Making interactive computer services and their users liable for the speech of third parties would severely restrict the information available on the Internet.”). See also Caraccioli v. Facebook, Inc., 167 F. Supp.3d 1056, 1065 (N.D. Cal. 2016) (purpose of CDA immunity is “to spare interactive computer service providers the ‘grim choice’ of becoming fully responsible for third-party content” by permitting them some ability to edit third-party content without also becoming liable for all defamatory or otherwise unlawful messages that they do not edit or delete.) We cannot possibly monitor the accuracy of the huge volume of information we are receiving for this list. If interactive websites were liable for information that the site did not create, this would restrict free speech, as fewer and fewer sites would be willing to permit users to post anything at all.
