Together we will deeply examine our latest quantitative findings from The Compelling Offer, explore case studies and other tools to turn those findings into action, and look towards the future challenges and opportunities within the arts and culture sector.
We hope you will join us for one of these unique cross-genre and cross-region learning and networking events!
An Overview of Key Meeting Themes
Adapting to Post-Pandemic Career Preferences
The pandemic has fundamentally altered staff expectations of employers and exacerbated intergenerational differences. Arts organizations must adapt in order to remain in step with evolving workforce needs. Areas of focus:
Pushing the limits of flexible work
Balancing inclusivity and accountability in decision-making
DEI&A commitment vs. artistic reputation: addressing the generational divide
Building a Differentiated Culture
To compete against highly resourced talent competitors, arts and culture organizations must “declare a major” by investing disproportionately in a set of attributes that will distinguish them in the eyes of talent best suited to their mission, strategy and culture. Areas of focus:
Building a culture that aligns with mission and strategy
Designing core organizational processes (e.g., performance reviews, succession management) to reinforce culture
Formalizing culture-coaching for new employees
Defining a Clear Employment Brand
Even organizations with outstanding employment offers can lose candidates to competitors if they are unable to articulate hard-to-describe attributes that are most differentiating. Arts organizations should devote more time and resources to articulating their employment brand with clarity. Areas of focus:
Designing a recruitment process that signals the talent brand and screens for cultural fit
Communicating cultural “intangibles” through story-telling
Equipping employee advocates to be talent-brand ambassadors
