Best Workplaces,  Employee Experience

There is a powerful link between caring for employees and improving bottom-line results.

This closing keynote discussion from the 2022 Great Place To Work® For All Summit™ takes a deeper look at how taking care of people sits at the heart of every great workplace.

Accenture ranked #6 on this year’s Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® and appears on the Best Workplaces™ List in ten countries worldwide. Great Place To Work CEO, Michael C. Bush, sat down with Julie Sweet, chair and CEO, and Ellyn Shook, chief leadership and human resources officer, to learn how they care for their people.

They also welcomed Michael Phelps — 23-time Olympic gold medalist, mental health advocate, and founder of the Michael Phelps Foundation — onstage for an inspiring and candid conversation.
