Stepping into a new leadership role is never a smooth ride—it's a storm of shifting dynamics, unanticipated challenges, and the weight of expectations.

The Great Debate - Interactive Session

Presentation

"When Does Employee Engagement Start? The Critical Role of Talent Acquisition"

During this session, Ehab will explore how employee engagement begins far earlier than traditionally assumed — not on the first day of work, but from the very first interaction between a candidate and the organization. Drawing on research insights, Ehab will share how Talent Acquisition teams play a critical role in shaping early perceptions that influence long-term engagement. Specifically, the session will focus on how TA teams can foster the three essential psychological conditions for engagement during the attraction and hiring process: Meaningfulness, Safety, and Availability. Participants will leave with practical strategies to embed engagement thinking into every stage of the candidate journey — from employer branding to interviews to offer management — setting the foundation for stronger, more sustainable employee engagement across the organization.

“Why Dei? What We Gain by Confronting the Realities of Diversity Around and Within Us”

We are living through challenging times. The pandemic has taken a significant human and economic toll, and ongoing crises, wars, and natural disasters continue to push our systems to the limit—economically, politically, and psychologically. At the same time, constant change in the wake of demographic transition, digitalisation, and globalisation has many people overwhelmed. Feelings of uncertainty, burnout, and pressure are increasingly common in a world that seems to be moving faster, growing more complex, and becoming less predictable. Amid all of this, the topic of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) has sparked debate in many organisations. Why should we prioritise DEI when we're already stretched to our limits? Isn't it just another trend—one that consumes limited resources and potentially creates division? In this session, we’ll explore why DEI is not just a "nice to have." Rather, it’s a meaningful, strategic response to the realities we face—and it can help make us stronger, more resilient, and better equipped for the future.

"The Culture Code: Leading with Head, Heart & Hands"
