Unily, the market-leading Employee Experience (EX)
Platform, has announced Emma Grede and Mo Gawdat as
headline speakers at the industry’s most renowned EX conference,
Unite 24. Grede, the multihyphenate mogul behind some
of the most disruptive brands of the decade – including Good
American, SKIMS, and Safely – and Gawdat, the globally-renowned
expert in AI, will lead an agenda of industry visionaries
presenting the latest employee engagement strategies in front of
3,500+ attendees, between 15 and 16 October, at the
iconic 22 Bishopsgate in London, UK.
At a time when 80% of the global workforce is disengaged,
employee burnout is at a record high, and connection to company
purpose has plummeted to a record low, enterprises need a new
approach to building the ultimate employee experience. As the
leader in solving these challenges, Unily launched Unite to connect
and inspire enterprise leaders striving to make change happen and
create the best future of work.
Unite is now a cornerstone of the EX calendar, boasting the
largest audience of enterprise EX leaders anywhere in the world. In
its fifth year, Unite 24 will explore today’s EX challenges through
the lens of Organizational Velocity, the ability of modern
organizations to maximize performance across a global, modern
workforce that’s changed forever.
Headliners offer insight into
disruption and propose happiness as the key to
success.
Emma Grede is recognized as one of America’s Richest
Self-Made Women by Forbes. The British businesswoman, serial
entrepreneur, and philanthropist will take to the main stage on
Day 1 in a session titled “The New Rules of
Engagement”.
The talk focuses on providing attendees access to the latest
strategies to help the next generation of business leaders position
themselves for success.
With so many enterprises at risk of being replaced by disruptive
brands waiting in the wings, Emma Grede offers a rare insight into
how those disruptors, helmed by the next generation of business
leaders, are positioning for success. She will share her strategies
for carving out niches in crowded markets, engaging global
audiences, leading with authenticity, fueling a high-performance
culture, and activating employees as brand ambassadors.
On Day 2, Mo Gawdat asks three thought-provoking
questions: What would happen if we increased the happiness of
our workforce by just 1%? Can happiness be a catalyst for
productivity and innovation? And will we be happier in the age of
AI? The former Chief Business Officer at Google X and thought
leader on happiness and AI will challenge attendees to redefine
their formula for success and discover a future where happiness
powers growth.
As enterprises struggle to shape-shift their workforce to always
meet what’s next, suffering from organizational lethargy, Mo Gawdat
explores the potential of a Chief Happiness Officer to help unlock
performance, reshape corporate culture, and build resilience
against burnout.
Driving Organizational Velocity at
Unite 24
Grede and Gawdat headline an agenda of inspiring stories and
critical discussions on how the world’s leading companies are
maximizing Organizational Velocity. These organizations have proven
their ability to make sharp pivots, embrace frictionless
operations, and stay one step ahead with a global, modern workforce
that has become borderless, flexible, hyper-distributed, diverse,
and unbound by roles, functions or hierarchies.
“The performance champions of the next decade are the companies
that maximize Organizational Velocity,” said Chris Ciauri, CEO,
Unily. “Our years of experience working with large companies
has shown that most suffer from organizational lethargy, with
employees stuck in silos, not engaged or actively disengaged. We
call this the Velocity Drain, one of the enterprise's greatest
threats today. At Unite 24, we answer the question: how can today’s
enterprise leaders maneuver their complex, multinational
organizations at new speed with a modern digital workforce?”
Unite 24 is a two-day event offering valuable insights into
strategies for maximizing Organizational Velocity, addressing AI's
promise, and helping build the ultimate employee experience
playbook. Attendees will have their choice of panels, spotlights,
and deep dives into the future of employee experience, employee
journeys, and building the EX super team, featuring industry
speakers from such recognizable brands as Estée Lauder Companies,
British Airways, David Lloyd, American Airlines, Aflac, Lloyds
Banking Group, Pearson, BBC, and Microsoft.
“Unite 24 is a unique opportunity for business leaders to
prepare for what’s next,” added Ciauri. “We believe that
every attendee will better understand the challenges that the
Velocity Drain presents and will come armed with the strategies and
tools to maximize Organizational Velocity in their company. We’re
excited to welcome the world to London this October as Unite kicks
off for the fifth year.”
