Distinctly Different

Join us for our second Workforce Wake-Up event featuring a variety of Scooter’s Coffee drinks and keynote presentation by Sara Richardson with Connectify! Sara believes deeply in the power of genuine connection—whether in personal relationships, business partnerships, or community involvement. Her passion for HR and for elevating both the employee and client experience highlights how meaningful connections can help everyone perform at their best.

In today’s workplace, employers are broadening benefits beyond traditional health coverage to include mental-health resources, financial wellness support, and flexible lifestyle perks—reflecting a growing commitment to overall well-being. At the same time, organizations are embracing greater pay transparency to build trust and attract top talent, while also incorporating performance-based incentives to reward strong results and retain high performers.
