Minneapolis CHRO Virtual Executive Summit

Creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace has been a goal for decades, but this year the call for meaningful change has caused organizations to shift that goal to one of their top priorities. As leaders of people and culture, CHROs must blaze a path for the movement, taking action that propels the organization forward.

Join this keynote session to hear HR leaders discuss:

• The present and future of diversity, equity and inclusion 
• Substantive actions organizations can take in advancing DE&I 
• Road maps to impact change

Remote work and restrictive travel policies have accelerated the pre-existing trend towards digital-first, on-demand learning and development. But delivery is only one aspect of L&D undergoing a transformation, as organizations rethink the roles and skills they need for the future. 

Join this virtual boardroom to discuss:

• Aligning your L&D offerings with the changing demands of the business 
• Meeting employee expectations of a consumer-like experience
• Onboarding new workers in a remote environment

Mental health and wellbeing benefits are now a top priority for HR leaders, as employees struggle with prolonged uncertainty and fears for the health and safety of their households. The workplace has quickly become a social safety net as employers work to support employees in an unprecedented way. It's not surprising that COVID-19 has raised the urgency to find solutions aimed at improving the health of millennials and caregivers, both of whom face concerning mental and physical health challenges that are being magnified by the pandemic.

Join this virtual boardroom session to discuss:

• Best practices for optimizing behavioral health benefits
• Targeted focus on the behavioral health of millennials and caregivers
• Scaling and sustaining mental health and wellbeing benefits

Maintaining an engaged workforce as employees navigate personal stress and an uncertain future is a challenge all HR leaders are facing. Monitoring and acting on employee sentiment is a necessary lever for employers to pull to maintain engagement and productivity.

Join this virtual boardroom to discuss:

• Trends in employee sentiment and engagement
• Meaningful actions employers can take to support the workforce
• Lessons learned after a year of disruption

With 2021 promising continued uncertainty, it's imperative for your business to identify, retain, and develop the right talent to meet the challenges ahead. Forward-looking organizations are already taking full advantage of powerful technologies like artificial intelligence to build the workforce of the future.
This keynote session will cover:

• What future of the global workforce looks like
• Jobs lost, jobs gained, jobs changed - how AI can make you more proactive in managing talent
• How data and AI will change expectations of HR and business leaders

The path to the new world of work is different for each organization. But businesses that listen to their employees and help them adapt to change will set themselves up for long-term success.

In this session you will explore how to:

• Respond rapidly to your organization’s changing needs
• Create a thoughtful recovery plan that’s tailored to your unique situation
• Transform your strategy for long-term success by putting your people at the center

Wellness is different in 2020. As people struggle to balance home and work while coping with unprecedented uncertainty and stress, taking time for self-care is vital to resiliency. Employers have stepped up in many ways to support the workforce, and employees are taking advantage of these resources in record numbers.

Join this virtual boardroom to discuss:

• How wellness benefits correlate with employee engagement
• Trends in wellbeing and how employers can support the workforce
• The future of wellness in a remote environment

The future of work is far from defined, as organizations grapple with how to scale and sustain work in a remote environment, while balancing workplace culture and employee engagement. Absent a playbook of how to manage the many moving pieces, HR leaders must collaborate to share ideas and challenges they're facing.

Join this virtual boardroom to discuss:

• Sustaining engagement in a long term remote environment
• Challenges to maintaining workplace culture 
• Changes to business operations and decision making strategy
