Companies are struggling to hire, and only 22% of employees feel they are<br /> thriving. A skills-first mindset—prioritizing capabilities over credentials—helps expand talent pipelines and<br /> build diverse, high-performing teams. Yet in addition to skills, employees need the will—the motivation,<br /> adaptability, and support to apply skills effectively. By fostering work wellbeing through belonging,<br /> flexibility, and growth opportunities, companies can create an engaged, resilient workforce that drives<br /> innovation and long-term success. Join two seasoned leaders for an interactive session exploring an<br /> integrated framework for skills, will, and wellbeing that will inspire you to rethink how you hire, develop<br /> talent, and create a high-performing culture.<br /> Byron Auguste, CEO and Cofounder, Opportunity@Work<br /> LaFawn Davis, Chief People and Sustainability Officer, Indeed<br /> Moderator: Kristin Stoller, Editorial Director, Coins2Day; Cochair, Coins2Day Workplace Innovation Summit<br /> Photograph by Kristy Walker/Coins2DayConferences

The company’s remote-first approach, known as “Cloud HQ,” has reshaped operations, boosted<br /> engagement, and quadrupled job applications. But is flexibility a competitive advantage—or a risky<br /> gamble? McKinsey’s latest research suggests what’s important is not where people work, but how<br /> companies intentionally design the experience to unlock innovation and impact. In this conversation, a<br /> McKinsey workplace expert and Zillow’s chief people officer explore the nuance—not the noise—of the RTO<br /> debate, offering data and on-the-ground insights from both research and real-world application.<br /> Dan Spaulding, Chief People Officer, Zillow<br /> Brooke Weddle, Partner, People and Organizational Performance, McKinsey &amp; Company<br /> Moderator: Azure Gilman, Deputy Editor, Leadership, Coins2Day; Cochair, Coins2Day Workplace Innovation<br /> Summit<br /> Photograph by Kristy Walker/Coins2DayConferences
