Theme of Previous Edition

Vision to Value – Building Workplaces that Matter

Great Leaders understand that a powerful vision, rooted in the organization’s core values, in turn, drives increased overall organizational and employee value.


As India Inc. braces itself for exponential growth with a renewed outlook, successful leaders see how their Vision fuels strategic actions by employees. They understand that in the journey from Vision to Value, the ‘who’ and ‘how’ will be as important as the ‘from’ and ‘to’ of this journey.


Leaders recognize that employees must be strong culture ambassadors when building a workplace that matters. Our study of India’s Most Trusted Leaders reveals that Purpose is a powerful motivator. Employees who find meaning in their work are 3.2x more likely to stay and 3.4x more likely to recommend their company to others.


Our research validates organizations’ pursuit of keeping employee experience paramount by continuously refining and relooking at traditional working methods, building capability aligned with the latest developments, and creating a personalized experience that nurtures belongingness and holistic well-being. Present-day leaders who achieve this advocacy from their people pave the way for a seamless transition to the next generation of leaders. And there is a business case for this, too!

'I' for Inclusion

  • Facilitated in Collaboration With : Training Sideways
  • Recently, there have been multiple conversations about DEIB, and as time passes, we see these conversations becoming more nuanced. Why so? The answer is that DEIB hasn’t disappeared; it has become a part of how we live and work.
  • A workplace can truly matter to India Inc. only when all its people feel included and belong to their organization. To build an impactful workplace, all people need to feel that they are collectively contributing to the overall Vision and creating value For All, By All. The first step in the DEIB journey is to understand how inclusion can be incorporated as a part of our personal lives and personalities – which then flows into other spheres of our lives.
  • Training Sideways is an institution that works actively in recognizing and removing unconscious bias from different spheres of life through behavioural training. They will drive a customized training agenda for the audience to adapt, embrace and lead the change.
  • This playshop will show scenarios from real life in the form of a live play. This playshop emphasizes on the fact that Non-inclusion comes from differences (age, gender, LGBTQIA+, education, thought process), and inclusion comes from a personal mindset.
