"An employee culture is not something that is driven from the top down. It's a shared currency between you and I and how we like to do business. It's the behaviors and actions of your people that drive the culture, and if you're a global organization, being able to replicate that can be extremely challenging. Organizations are going to be challenged by creating a unified culture and an engaged workforce"
- Director of comms at a global pharma company

“Generational change will bring with it new expectations from employees, and we will respond to that. But really, we try to look at it more holistically, as a push for inclusiveness as a core cultural element. The focus of our approach to a changing workforce is to have everyone thinking about it from the standpoint of diversity and inclusion.”
- Director of Corporate Comms (at an organization where 50% of employees will be eligible for retirement in 5 years)

…And, how can we help employees learn, maybe not a completely different job, but how to do their job in a different way that's more efficient?" - Communication Manager, financial services
"We need to make sure folks are trained up and know what's happening in all areas. With all the advances of different technology options, we need to make sure that we're keeping our employees in the loop on that fact that they're an integral part of our success and they're not being replaced by robots...

The Dilemma
• Only half of AT&T's 250,000 employees had the necessary science, technology, engineering and math skills the company required.
• 100,000 workers were in jobs having to do with hardware functions that probably wouldn't exist in the next decade.

Future Ready Initiative
• $1 billion web-based, multiyear effort
• Career Intelligence (online portal roadmap) lets workers see what jobs are available, the skills required for each, the potential salary range and whether that particular area is projected to grow or shrink in the years ahead.
• If successful, by 2020 AT&T will have reeducated 100,000 employees for new jobs
"It's important for companies, at the senior level, to engage and retrain workers rather than constantly going to the street to hire." -Bill Blase, Senior EVP of HR
