The live audience shared amazing feedback

Celarity teamed up with SafeNet Consulting, a Custom Technology Solutions Firm, to co-host a powerful panel discussion designed to address The Great Resignation. This hybrid-location event featured business leader panelists; Gina Lemon, Kelly Gunderson, Kelli Schnieder, Brian Johnson, and moderator, Kelli Williams. During the event, we hosted nearly 300 attendees between our in-person and online locations.  

Discussion topics the panel addressed include:

• Key reasons why the number of people projected to leave their roles—the great resignation—is so high.
• Have they made any leadership style or approach changes this last year? If so, what changes were made and what were the outcomes?
• Did they personally make a mistake or have seen a colleague make related to supporting team members?
• Ways to handle or prevent employee burnout—the idea that people are doing more work with less support (or decreased team coverage)— within their team, even when this can be out of a leader’s hands.
• Specific onboarding or other career-stage-based employee engagement approaches they have used successfully or unsuccessfully.
• What can business leaders do to prevent people from leaving – e.g., how do you keep people engaged and happy, so they don’t leave?
• How important team communication is and specific regular communications they apply.
• Leaders can’t always change company policies, but if we could, what is one company policy every organization should enact related to team member satisfaction?
• Mental health is such an important topic – supporting people with mental health struggles, either diagnosed or undiagnosed. From your seat, what does it look like to support employee mental health?
