Helping HR leaders foster stability, engagement, and well-being when the future feels unclear.

In a workplace shaped by constant change, from shifting business priorities to global uncertainty, HR leaders play a critical role in helping employees feel grounded and connected. This interactive session explores strategies to sustain engagement, strengthen trust, and support well-being amid turbulence.

Devin Hughes: 

An award-winning speaker, author, and globally sought-after expert on organizational culture and team dynamics, Devin helps leaders and teams do more than check the box on engagement—he shows them how to light it on fire (in the good way). He’s got a sixth sense for sniffing out stale workplaces and helping turn them into thriving, connected ecosystems where people actually want to show up.

Forget the corporate fluff—Devin brings real talk, bold ideas, and a human-first approach that sticks. With a rare mix of insight, storytelling, and just the right dose of sarcasm, he tackles big topics like civility, belonging, and communication without making anyone want to check their inbox mid-session. Named one of PeopleHum’s Top 200 Thought Leaders to Watch in 2024, Devin holds a BA from Colgate University and an MS from Southern New Hampshire University. His work spans Fortune 100 giants, scrappy startups, and mission-driven organizations that want more than just another PowerPoint parade. He doesn't just talk about better workplaces—he helps build them.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand how uncertainty affects motivation, trust, and engagement across different generations.
  2. Learn evidence-based communication practices to build psychological safety and resilience
  3. Create an actionable plan for reinforcing well-being and belonging during organizational change.
