UNLEASH America: 'Showing up with vulnerability and humility will help employees thrive and ask for what they need'

At UNLEASH, we’re privileged to sit at the crossroads of pivotal conversations for the world of HR, driving innovation, inspiration, and meaningful change.

But as much as we honor the past year, our focus is firmly on the future.

We can’t wait to bring together HR leaders and tech innovators at UNLEASH America 2025, May 6-8, where we’ll continue to champion our vision of being the most loved HR and HR tech marketplace in the world.

If you want to know what to expect, take a look at some of our UNLEASH America 2024 HR Leader highlights.

At last year's International Festival of HR, Liz Almeida, CHRO at Panasonic North America, speaks exclusively to UNLEASH Editor in Chief, Nima Sherpa Green, about the pivotal importance of demonstrating courageous leadership that creates "a culture where all employees can thrive and feel safe to ask for what they need."

Almeida also details the impact of challenges that both employees and leadership face in an increasingly volatile world and how people leaders can engender courageous leadership across organizations, both internally and externally.

I think it starts with modeling the way. I think we learn from seeing how others put this into practice, and I think that our most senior leaders don't understand the impact they can have with just asking and checking in with the team and employees: 'How are you doing?'" Almeida explains.I think it starts with modeling the way.
