The Economic Times Future Forward Summit Malaysia 2024: What makes it worth attending

With the rise of distributed teams, hybrid work environments, and AI advancements, the work landscape is undergoing a transformation. This shift has led to increased feelings of isolation, communication challenges, and a decline in workplace trust, which can hinder innovation. However, the intrinsic human desire for connection remains strong. So, how can we foster a sense of community in the workplace amidst these changes?

Building this connection calls for reimagining workplaces as ecosystems centred on meaningful engagement, collaboration, and community spirit. The concept of the ‘Great Connect’ emphasises utilising both talent and technology to promote innovative work models.

The Economic Times Future Forward Summit 2024 tackles this challenge under the theme, "The Great Connect: Creating Connected Workplaces," focusing on strategies to cultivate meaningful connections in modern workplaces. By fostering a sense of belonging, organisations can achieve benefits like higher employee engagement, improved productivity, and a stronger appeal to top talent.
