Driving Change for a Multi-Gen Workforce: Karen Bowes, Chief People Officer, Knight Frank

Discussing multiple generations and intersectionality, Karen shares her thoughts on levers that enable everyone to thrive at work, providing the example of Knight Frank’s new multi-generation ERG, her advice on creating an ERG with this focus, and thoughts on why it’s important. Karen describes the importance of understanding the world we’re in to determine how to take a business forward. Noting changes in diversity statistics in Knight Frank’s customer profile, Karen shares how she is harnessing this data to drive People and DE&I strategies, her approach to dismantling fear and the risk of disengagement, and to having courage in delivering the work.   Thank you to Staffbase for supporting How HR Leaders Change the World Staffbase knows that HR leaders are driving transformation in the workplace, and they’re here to help.
