All panelists stressed the importance of taking care of employees and being an innovative leader.
“When we talk about high performing organizations, you can’t do it without dedicated people so you need to take care of them,” said moderator of the first panel, Kim Mills.
There was also a breakout session led by Joan Kampo, Director of Human Resources for WithumSmith+Brown that focused on the importance of good culture in the workplace stating that “culture eats strategy for breakfast.”
Wonderful panel discussions, an engaging breakout session and a delicious breakfast provided by the Rutgers Club made for the perfect morning.
