NEW YORK — SHRM, the Society for Human Resource Management, is bringing a data-driven national conversation about work culture to New York City for a two-day public event at the Oculus. An exclusive breakfast for media hosted by SHRM CEO Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., and attended by business leaders will kick off the event on Wednesday, Sept. 25. 

SHRM’s Workplace Convos & Coffee national initiative highlights the effect that unhealthy work cultures have on workers and businesses and explores the positive role that open, honest conversations at work play in addressing toxic cultures.

WHERE: Oculus, 33-69 Vesey St., World Trade Center, New York, NY 10003

  • A report on the human and business costs of unhealthy work culture with data on workers in the United States and New York City. 
  • An index ranking the 20 largest U.S. cities by how fulfilled their workers feel in their jobs.
