Diversity and Inclusion

Serena Williams is a tennis icon and world-class champion whose name is synonymous with power and performance. Recognized as one of the greatest athletes of all time, her strength and resilience extend to her life off the court — from her challenging journey into motherhood to her redefinition of what it means to be a “working mom” to her success as an entrepreneur and investor. In this conversation, she’ll sit down with Lattice CEO Jack Altman to talk about what’s fueled her passion to be an advocate for parental leave, female empowerment, and diverse representation in leadership.

She’ll also share her advice on how to maintain a culture of high performance while building a culture of high empathy.

Employees still have all the leverage when it comes to the race for talent. So in an increasingly competitive (and global) job market, how can companies evolve their total rewards and compensation strategy to match the moment? People leaders from Anaplan, Lattice, Kasasa, and Ironclad will share how they approach employee compensation, from adopting a philosophy toward “pay for performance” to addressing the shift to distributed work.

HR and People Operations roles at companies were evolving well before the events of last year. High growth coupled with competition for talent drove companies to care more about building a great culture and creating workplaces where people felt they could do their best work, grow, and belong. And that put Chief People Officers and similar roles in huge demand. And the last year has only heightened HR’s importance with new needs and new roles within organizations.

Lattice’s All Hands podcast will debut a very special episode featuring host Katelin Holloway and her mentor in HR, Katarina Berg, Spotify’s CHRO. In their conversation, Katarina explains the importance of “controlled chaos” in building innovative companies and HR processes, why “no two other roles that should choose each other as much as the CEO should choose his CHRO and vice versa,” the power of a “walk and talk” as a forum for great leadership and connection, and finding connectivity and community in the “great experiment” of hybrid work and “work from anywhere.”
