4:00 – 4:45 PM
We will kick off SHINE Summit 2021 with a fireside chat on organizational well-being between leading thinkers from Harvard Business School, Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. This interdisciplinary conversation will bring a public policy, business, and population health lens to human flourishing within organizations – why it matters, how it relates to business performance, and what we’ve learned throughout the pandemic. Discussion will center on bringing innovation into leadership and making room for caring cultures that are fair and respectful.

TRUST & TRANSPARENCY IN BUSINESS
11:15 – 12:15 PM
This panel will focus on the human need for trust and why it is critical to factor trust into the business practices and cultures of organizations. The panelists will explore how trust in institutions has been lost, how to regain trust and why it matters. How should we define trust? Why does it matter if business is ‘trusted’? What’s the role of transparency in building or risking trust? How can businesses ‘do’ transparency well? What is important to building trust from the perspective of employees, customers, and community partners? How to overcome skepticism about business’ motives to ‘do good’ and what do businesses need to do to be perceived as trustworthy?

A CANDID CONVERSATION ON DIVERSITY, INCLUSION & BELONGING
Many D&I programs have a limited scope and their impact is unclear. More effective and long lasting approaches might need to consider the actual experience of work, employees’ voices and workers’ input. How do we address the root causes of inequality and discrimination, rethink the experience of work and reframe work arrangements to enable a true culture of everyone? What new approaches should we be thinking about to achieve health and social equality at work and how can we measure their effectiveness?

REIMAGINING THE FUTURE OF WORK & DESIGNING HUMANE EMPLOYMENT
The pandemic has highlighted how significantly workplaces, work arrangements and work relationships can change and how those changes can impact well-being and performance. What have we learned about the meaning of place, remote work and social connection through work? What are the key issues and trends we need to understand – demographics, reskilling workforces, unionization, gig work, automation, globalization? What do workforces want and need? These two sessions will be deep dives into how to create meaningful work and humane employment to better care for people, to manage talent, and to build more sustainable work arrangements that foster well-being.
