The exclusive event in Las Vegas, April 8-10, offers access to leaders at award-winning companies sharing lessons learned building high-performance teams.
There’s no better place to learn effective strategies and tactics for building a high-performance company than the Great Place To Work® For All Summit™.
This year’s event in Las Vegas from April 8-10 will explore key challenges facing HR and business leaders today:
- Using AI to enhance human performance
- Preserving trust in leadership amid constant change
- Designing workplaces where every employee can do their best work
Above all, this year’s event will focus on a simple question: How can workplace culture drive the business performance (agility, productivity, and innovation) that this market demands?
Answers may come from speakers like Angela Duckworth, best-selling author of “Grit,” who returns to the Summit mainstage this year. Last year, she shared her tips for anyone wanting to build grit:
1. Develop your interests
2. Practice like an expert
3. Cultivate purpose
4. Adopt a growth mindset
And she made the case for workplace culture as a key ingredient for grittier employees: “I don’t think you can express or develop grit if you don’t have a great place to work.”
Join us April 8-10 to hear more from Duckworth and other leaders about how culture drives business performance in 2025.
Building trust with AI
This year’s event offers a track focused on the potential for AI to improve outcomes for employees in the workplace. How can you turn this technology loose in your organization to offer more opportunities to employees?
You can check out our report on how companies like those that make the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For List are doing this in our latest report “Winning the AI Race: Strategies that Drive AI Adoption, Employee Performance, and Financial Growth.”
One case study from the report was a focus session at last year’s Summit with DHL Express. The global logistics company shared key lessons from rolling out its AI-powered internal talent marketplace:
1. Learn how the technology works
Career marketplace platforms are powered by artificial intelligence. That requires leaders to understand how the AI makes connections and recommends different candidates. For DHL, that was a 12-month process to really understand what AI could and couldn’t do for the organization.
2. Focus on meeting the needs of the employee
If you get too focused on questions around “skills” vs. “competencies,” you risk creating a tool that bores employees rather than engaging them.
3. Set clear goals — and measure results
A career marketplace could have many different applications in the organization. At DHL, the tool is already opening new horizons for employees who might otherwise never have had the opportunity to apply.
More companies will be sharing their AI strategies this year. Learn more about our AI track and other tracks here.
Build a culture where every employee contributes
Why do companies on the Fortune 100 Best list outperform the stock market by nearly four times?
They have a high-performance culture where every employee can do their best work. They add invaluable talent, like military veterans who are often overlooked in the civilian workforce. They ensure that neurodivergent employees — an estimated 20% of the global workforce — can find a home in their organization. They ensure every employee, regardless of job level, has the opportunity to learn and develop new skills.
The result is what we call the Great Place To Work Effect.
Any company can create a high-trust, high-performance workplace. It doesn’t matter how big the organization is, what industry you work in, or where in the world you operate. The Great Place To Work Model has been validated all over the world by millions of employees every year.
If your company leaders have doubts about the limitations of their industry or company, look no further than a company like The Wonderful Company, an agricultural producer known for brands like Halos mandarin oranges.
At last year’s Summit, leaders from The Wonderful Company and CarMax shared top tips for engaging frontline employees to help solve important business challenges:
1. Employees are paying attention to what captures your focus. Listening and engaging as a leader is sending a clear signal of how meaningful a topic might be. When you pay attention, you reinforce employees’ sense that their ideas matter.
2. Get buy-in from frontline managers. For any change affecting hourly or frontline employees, frontline managers are essential resources for troubleshooting and developing communications tools.
3. Keep asking questions. Surveys like the Great Place To Work Trust Index™ offer crucial information about the experience of hourly employees. If you believe that hourly employees have just as many good ideas as anyone else in the company, a great company puts its money where its mouth is.
