0 OCTOBER 2023 LOOP SUMMIT Employee Wellbeing
LOOP SUMMIT ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
Can you see the triple elephant in the room? You know, the triage of an economic crisis, consolidations and burnout leading to job changes? We all wish it would go away, thank you very much. The problem is so big and looming and impossible to miss, but…*crickets*… hardly anybody’s talking about it. And why would we, when it seems impossible that anything could change? Could the crisis please make space for improvement and innovation? We want to feel better and empowered, not stuck and discouraged, which is why this year's Loop Summit brings together vulnerable speakers with no-glossy photoshopping of the real issues in employee wellbeing in the UAE today. We will crack open the can on topics that matter, like hybrid work, retaining next-generation talent, leaving no one behind and discussing honest mistakes and growth. Let's put wellbeing back on the table. We will work relentlessly until well-washing is a distant meme. Say hello to genuine employee well-living with people professionals at the helm!
