UMKC - Bloch Discussion Panel: Changing Workforce Expectations: Reshaping Leadership, Culture, and the Workplace

Wednesday, October 21, 2026 (9:30 AM - 11:00 AM) (CDT)

Description

As workforce expectations continue to evolve, organizations are rethinking how they lead, engage, and retain talent. With multiple generations in the workplace, evolving work environments, and a growing demand for purpose-driven careers, leaders must adapt to meet the changing needs of employees while advancing organizational goals. 

Join us for a panel discussion featuring Angie Salmon (BBA '00, MBA '01), Retained Executive Search Expert; Jonathan Knapp (B.A. '07, MBA '14, MSF '14), Chief Operating Officer of Creative Planning; Tami Greenberg (MBA '20), Chief Executive Officer of Ronald McDonald House Charities Kansas City; and Kevin Lewis (MBA '04), Chief Executive Officer of Henderson Engineers. 

Together, they will explore how today's evolving workforce is reshaping leadership, organizational culture, and talent management. Panelists will share insights on building purpose-driven workplaces, engaging employees across virtual, hybrid, and in-person environments, navigating generational differences, and leveraging emerging technologies like AI to attract, develop, and retain top talent. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for creating adaptable, people-centered organizations that strengthen both organizational success and community impact. 

Pastries and refreshments will be provided. Parking will also be provided, courtesy of the Bloch Alumni Board. This event is free for students, and $5 for alumni and the general public. Registration is required.
