• To spotlight ‘culture capital’ as new business imperative

The Great Place To Work FOR ALL Regional Conference 2025 returns this September at Hilton Colombo, uniting local and regional thought leaders and workplace culture champions under the theme ‘Culture Capital: Trust | People | Performance’. 

Deeply rooted in trust, shared values and genuine human connection, culture capital is the invisible but unstoppable engine powering sustainable, long-term performance. The 2025 conference is set to amplify this vital concept, delivering a dynamic, full-day summit on September 23, 2025, designed to inspire and equip a diverse audience—from CEOs and CHROs to HR leaders, DEI advocates and culture architects—united by one bold mission: to build equitable, high-impact workplaces where everyone can succeed.

The conference boasts a stellar line-up of keynote speakers offering deep insights into cultural transformation. Highlights include a powerful session on ‘Culture Capital’ that redefines culture as a strategic driver of performance, bestselling author and global keynote speaker Mimi Nicklin, who will outline ‘The Connection Prescription’, revealing how empathy-driven leadership unlocks human potential and Nitin Goil, whose session ‘Building Culture Capital through a Restored Organisation’ explores how healing workplace culture ignites trust, purpose and resilience.

The attendees will also benefit from hands-on sessions and real-world case studies, featuring ‘The Trust Dividend’ by Balbir Singh and Ruwani Alwishewa, transformational strategies from Afeef Hussain, a FedEx case study by Sammy Bousaba on people-first leadership excellence, leadership adaptability insights from Harit Nagpal and Prof. Ajantha Dharmasiri’s expert guidance on ‘Glocal Leadership’—balancing global vision with local relevance.

The event’s panel discussions will dive deep into trust, people and performance, including ‘Transparent Leadership in Turbulent Times’, where the leaders share how transparency fosters trust, ‘Unlocking the Power of Inclusive Cultures’, spotlighting diversity as a catalyst for innovation and ‘Building Trust, Empowering People, Driving Performance’, featuring leaders from Best Workplaces in Asia, which will showcase powerful regional success stories leveraging Culture Capital for lasting impact.

“In today’s world of constant change, culture capital is the foundation that empowers organisations not just to survive but to lead and thrive,” said Great Place To Work Sri Lanka Director/CEO Kshanika Ratnayaka.
