On March 29, 30, and 31, Ethisphere will host the 2026 Global Ethics Summit, held live in Atlanta GA and virtually online. This leading ethics and compliance event brings together leaders from nearly 500 organizations around the world, representing more than 60 industries, as they share innovations, insights, and best practices that help them tackle the real-world E&C challenges that face companies everywhere. A can't-miss part of this year' agenda are interactive workshops such as One Speak Up Program, Many Voices: Bridging Generational, Cultural, and Organizational Divides. This session directly addresses the challenges of navigating the different expectations and communication preferences of a diversified workforce. Through real-life case studies and peer problem-solving, you'll build practical skills you can apply immediately. You'll leave with a comprehensive workbook filled with frameworks, guides, and a 90-day plan, plus actionable next steps, all tailored to help your organization navigate these differences without diluting your program's integrity. In this episode, we're joined by this workshop's leader, Nela Gomez, VP, Growth and Commercial Strategy for North America at SpeakUp, as she discusses how to build a speak-up program that delivers the same levels of trust and confidence to your 22-year-old warehouse worker in Manila as it does to your 55-year-old manager in Munich, and your stateside legal team. # Visit attendges.com to register for the Global Ethics Summit, where you can save your seat in Marinela’s interactive workshop, One Speak Up Program, Many Voices: Bridging Generational, Cultural, and Organizational Divides.
