Event Agenda
Session 1: 9:00 AM PST
Cultures That Keep People: Retention Starts on Day One
Most healthcare turnover happens in the first year—and often, within the first 90 days. In this session, healthcare HR and clinical leaders share how they’ve designed onboarding and early experiences to build trust fast, reduce early exits, and support teams under pressure. Learn how moments of belonging and recognition—delivered at the right time—can reduce burnout, build connection, and improve long-term retention across shifts and units.
Key Takeaways
- Build onboarding programs that reduce early churn
- Scale connection and recognition across dispersed, shift-based teams
- Turn early moments into long-term engagement and retention wins
Session 2: 10:00 AM PST
Scaling Culture Without Burning Out Your HR Team
When HR teams are stretched thin, even the best engagement ideas stall. In this session, you’ll hear from healthcare leaders who’ve built strong, consistent cultures without overwhelming their HR teams. From automating recognition and milestone moments to empowering managers and streamlining engagement tools, you’ll learn how to reduce admin burden, engage employees at scale, and give your people team the space to lead with purpose.
Key Takeaways
- Identify low-lift, high-impact ways to reduce manual HR tasks
- Scale recognition and engagement across departments, locations, and shifts
- Discover tools that simplify culture-building and make impact measurable
Session 3: 11:00 AM PST
Rebuilding Resilience on the Frontline
The most critical teams in healthcare are often the most overlooked. Frontline and shift-based staff regularly miss out on engagement efforts—fueling burnout, disconnection, and attrition. In this session, we’ll explore how leading organizations are reaching these essential teams through mobile-first tools, peer-driven recognition, and low-lift programs that build trust, visibility, and consistency across every shift, unit, and location.
Key Takeaways
- Design inclusive culture strategies for non-desk, dispersed teams
- Use low-lift tools to provide timely recognition and connection that help prevent burnout and foster a sense of support across every shift
- Create equity in engagement—across shifts, units, and locations
