This event will convene employers, job seekers, and industry leaders from across the Greater Baltimore area, focusing on preparation for the challenges of the contemporary workplace.
A central feature of the program will be a keynote presentation from Liz Fosslien, a bestselling author and expert in workplace dynamics. Known for her ability to clarify intricate workplace issues into actionable strategies, Fosslien will discuss the evolving expectations between employers and employees, the significance of communication and workplace culture, as well as the growing influence of artificial intelligence. Additionally, Harry Coker, Jr., the Secretary of Commerce for Maryland, will provide insights into how current workplace trends are influencing the state’s overall economic situation.
Attendees will kick off the evening in a private Networking Lounge, specially designed for leaders and managers, providing an exclusive opportunity to engage with keynote speaker Liz Fosslien and gain preliminary insights before the broader program commences.
Following this, the event will welcome a wider audience, encouraging anyone considering a career transition, managing teams, or trying to comprehend the changing norms of modern workplaces to participate.
Though the topics at hand are broad, Fosslien emphasizes that the emphasis will be on practical applications, making the session relevant for all attendees.
“Navigating the modern workplace can indeed seem daunting, especially given the rapid changes around us,” she states. “However, it doesn’t need to be. I am eager to provide actionable strategies that assist individuals in bridging generational divides, preparing for uncertainty, and building emotional resilience at work.”
Joan Grayson Cohen, Executive Director of JCS, commented on the significance of this gathering, saying, “At JCS, we observe firsthand how workplace transformations impact both individuals and organizations. This event serves as a valuable opportunity to bring people together, allowing them to better understand these changes and gain practical insights that empower them to advance with assurance.”
After the primary program concludes, participants are encouraged to attend the JCS Annual Meeting.
Whether you are hiring, seeking employment, or simply trying to stay informed about future trends, The Future-Ready Workplace presents a unique opportunity to pause, connect, and enhance your understanding in this swiftly changing climate.
