Squash the Sunday Scaries:

Reignite Your Workforce with Better Employee Experience

February 12th

If your employees dread Mondays, you don’t have a performance problem—you have an experience problem.

In this energizing and no-fluff keynote, Employee Experience Strategist Mary Baird, PHR tackles the hard truth: work is broken in Corporate America. After round after round of layoffs, reorganizations, and burnout, company cultures have taken a beating. The time to fix it is now—and she’ll show you how.

Mary reveals how to squash the Sunday Scaries by redesigning the employee experience from the inside out—using her Employee Experience Flywheel™ to reignite your workforce, rebuild trust, and make work meaningful again. You’ll also learn how to use AI as your ally—to listen at scale, personalize employee experiences, and bring your EX strategy to life faster (and smarter).

Through real-world stories, practical frameworks, and her signature humor, you’ll leave energized and equipped with tangible tools to rebuild culture—one experience at a time.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the core elements of the Employee Experience Flywheel™ and how they drive measurable gains in engagement, retention, and rebuild trust in senior leadership.
• Diagnose where the “Sunday Scaries” originate inside your organization—and how recurring layoffs, poor communication, and broken processes erode employee confidence.
• Apply simple, practical tools and AI-powered strategies that help HR teams design, implement, and measure better employee experiences.
• Design a 30-day action plan to strengthen one part of your employee experience—starting the shift from burnout to belonging.

Key Takeaways

• A practical roadmap (the EX Flywheel™) for rebuilding culture after layoffs or major change—the simple, sustainable way.
• Smart, actionable ways to integrate AI to support listening, personalization, and execution in EX work.
• Renewed conviction that fixing work isn’t just possible—it’s essential, and it starts with you.
