Fall Virtual Symposium | What’s Next for the Healthcare Workforce? Lessons from 2025 & Bold Moves for 2026
Thursday | December 11, 2025
8 AM - 9 AM PST | 11 AM - 12 Noon EST | 4 PM - 5 PM BST
After another transformative year in healthcare, it’s time to pause and ask: What did we learn, and how can we learn from each other?
In this 60-minute Healthcare Employee Experience Consortium session, leaders will come together to share stories from 2025 — what worked, what didn’t, and what’s still unresolved. Through facilitated breakout discussions, we’ll tap into the collective insight of peers across the industry, uncovering common challenges, unexpected wins, and bold ideas to take into 2026.
This isn’t a presentation, but it’s a space for honest conversation, shared reflection, and forward-looking collaboration.
You’ll leave with fresh perspectives, peer-tested strategies, and clarity on where to focus next.
- Solve Unresolved Challenges: Get direct, peer-tested feedback on the issues that kept resurfacing for your team throughout 2025.
- Decode the Employee Voice: Share and compare what employees are telling leaders and align on where to focus for maximum impact.
- Uncover High-Impact Wins: Learn precisely what made successful EX and retention strategies work in 2025 for other top healthcare systems.
- Define Your 2026 Strategy: Gain clarity on the bold moves, culture initiatives, and essential recommitments needed to build trust and connection next year.
- Forward-Looking Collaboration: Network with fellow healthcare leaders who are navigating the same landscape and leave with fresh, actionable perspectives for the year ahead.
