New York Times best-selling author Brene Brown will be the keynote speaker at Globoforce’s WorkHuman 2018 conference.

The annual conference focuses on teaching companies how to create a human-focused work culture and one that values the role of the employee. The next meeting will be April 3-5 in Austin, Texas.

“I am honored to participate in WorkHuman 2018 and continue the conversation around employees’ worthiness and value, and the overall importance of workplace humanity,” Brown said.

Brown has written three New York Times best-sellers revolving around the topics of worthiness, courage and vulnerability. She is an expert on authenticity, belonging and shame. She is also the founder and CEO of Brave Leaders Inc., as well as a research professor at the University of Houston.

“When you think about humanity, and human connections and emotions, you think about Brene Brown,” Globoforce CEO Eric Mosley said. “Brene’s cutting-edge research aligns perfectly with the WorkHuman mission to demonstrate how fostering humanity and empowering a person’s true authentic self can be the catalyst for a company’s success. We know Brene’s insights will inspire attendees of WorkHuman 2018 to create a more human work environment for their people.”
