Why are impactful events important for employee communities?

Events are a critical ingredient to the success of employee communities. They provide intentional time and space for colleagues to connect and reflect, and opportunities for community leaders to amplify their roles within their organization. Events can take many forms to meet various objectives, from fireside chats and panels to learn from featured speakers to trivia nights and networking events to socialize and build relationships.

What makes events challenging?

Truly impactful events require dedicated time and energy outside of leaders’ functional day jobs and a thoughtful lens of inclusion and intersectionality. It can be difficult to balance it all, and often leaders across communities find themselves re-inventing the wheel with little guidance. From brainstorming the event concept to booking speakers, developing materials, and gathering feedback, leaders find themselves navigating it all from scratch.
