And we don't. We can make some generalizations, but we need to ask. We need to be asking the questions to understand truly what employees need inside an organization. And we need to understand that will evolve and change.” - Joey Wilkerson, Employee Experience Lead and Acquisition Integration Manager at Cisco*“I began to challenge some of those notions around leadership. And I have seen, I have observed and experienced that you can be yourself and be an effective leader.” - Brady Pyle, Deputy Chief Human Capital Officer at NASA*“How do we get engagement of 38,000 people so they feel connected? And engagement that doesn't stop. Engagement that is ongoing and engagement that makes them an active participant in our brand, in our vision, in our story in our strategy, and connected? That, for me, this is about being human. Yes, tools and technology. And we'll talk about tools and technology. And I know very likely to ask me about that as well. They play a role. But this is about connection, communication, empathy. Truly, it's about understanding each other.” - Marija Zivanovic-Smith, EVP of Marketing, Communications and Public Affairs at NCR CorporationTime Stamps*[1:27] 7-time CIO Mark Settle*[1:51] Joey Wilkerson, Employee Experience Lead and Acquisition Integration Manager at Cisco*[2:27] Nicole Alvino, CEO and Founder of Firstup*[3:32] Jâlie Cohen, Group SVP of HR Americas at The Adecco Group*[4:21] Aaron Gerlitz, Program Manager of Information Security at Lowe’s*[4:53] Erica Cary, VP of Product and Services at Hilton*[5:36] Weston Morris, Director of Global Strategy for Digital Workplace Services at Unisys*[6:09] Brady Pyle, Deputy Chief Human Capital Officer at NASA*[6:35] Marija Zivanovic-Smith, EVP of Marketing, Communications and Public Affairs at NCR Corporation*[7:24] Alexander Senn, Head of People and Organization at Siemens Smart Infrastructure*[8:04] Lisa Cummings Penn, Executive Director of Employee Engagement in the Office of the CIO at Estée Lauder Companies*[9:01] Angie Grossman, Senior Employee Experience Specialist at WarnerMedia*[9:21] Tony Saldanha, former VP of Global Business Services at Procter & Gamble*[10:10] Quique Huerta, Global Employee Experience Officer at Liberty Mutual InsuranceLinksConnect with:7-time CIO Mark SettleJoey Wilkerson, Employee Experience Lead and Acquisition Integration Manager at CiscoNicole Alvino, CEO and Founder of FirstupJâlie Cohen, Group SVP of HR Americas at The Adecco GroupAaron Gerlitz, Program Manager of Information Security at Lowe’sErica Cary, VP of Product and Services at HiltonWeston Morris, Director of Global Strategy for Digital Workplace Services at UnisysBrady Pyle, Deputy Chief Human Capital Officer at NASAMarija Zivanovic-Smith, EVP of Marketing, Communications and Public Affairs at NCR CorporationAlexander Senn, Head of People and Organization at Siemens Smart InfrastructureLisa Cummings Penn, Executive Director of Employee Engagement in the Office of the CIO at Estée Lauder CompaniesAngie Grossman, Senior Employee Experience Specialist at WarnerMediaTony Saldanha, former VP of Global Business Services at Procter & GambleQuique Huerta, Global Employee Experience Officer at Liberty Mutual InsuranceThanks to our friendsThis episode is brought to you by Firstup, the company that is redefining the digital employee experience to put people first and lift companies up by connecting every worker, everywhere with the information that helps them do their best work.
