Minneapolis CHRO Executive Summit

Governing Body members host this dinner for attendees to launch the event with an evening of peer networking and an opportunity to give back! We are partnering with the Boys & Girls Club of the Twin Cities to assemble and personalize STEM and hygiene kits to help local youth reach their full potential and inspire the next generation of innovators.

As the boundary between work and life has become increasingly blurry, people leaders are having to adapt to the changing needs of their workforce, and ensure they take into account employees’ personal circumstances. CHROs play a key role in shaping an inclusive and psychologically safe environment for the entire business, but how can they achieve such a huge task?

This keynote session will explore:

• How trust can help build healthy and high-performing teams
• What leaders can do to empower employees to bring their whole, human self to work
• Leveraging recognition to connect employees to each other and the organization

Two years into a pandemic, with employees and candidates re-evaluating their lives both at work and home, Securian Financial identified the interconnectivity between implementing a hybrid way of working, company purpose and values, and the employee value proposition. What needed to be done now to address the power dynamic employers are facing in the moment while leaning in to a high performance culture? Join this session as Kristi Fox, EVP and Chief Administrative Officer at Securian Financial shares how the company took a strategic focus on these intersections to attract and retain key talent.

In this session you’ll learn how to:

• Define company purpose and values to stand out as an employer
• Apply learnings from the pandemic to refresh employee value proposition and culture
• Identify core competencies and ensure behaviors at every level of the organization align back

As the nature of work continues to evolve, so do methods to activate and assess employee performance. How can HR leaders rethink evaluation in a human-centric way while developing and engaging high-achieving teams?

Join this interactive session to learn:

• What research shows are the three things the world's best leaders do to engage their teams and drive strong performance
• Real-world ways for every leader in your organization to have their finger on the pulse of how their team is doing and coach for results in real time
• Simple, research-based methods to measure employee engagement and performance

As organizations are being forced to adapt at an ever-increasing rate of change, developing workforce skills is the new mandate. A tailored approach is necessary to ensure that both employee and employer needs are met. But what is the best way to create effective learning and development programs when resources are limited and needs are constantly shifting? 

Join this session to discuss:  

• How to increase workforce learning agility
• Ways to support employees during skill-building to increase buy-in and retention
• Strategies to audit and update existing programs to meet new demands

There’s no silver bullet for creating a successful culture. Culture is weaved into the fabric of how work gets done. It’s shaped by an organization’s foundational approach to engagement, performance, and development. To build a culture that has true business impact, CHROs must focus on this foundation—and they must rethink yesterday’s tactics for tomorrow’s workplace.

This session will cover:

• Research on the employee experience and organizational culture in the new world of work
• The intersection of culture and employee engagement, and where to aim your strategies
• How an intentional, reimagined approach to culture can drive business success

As the world becomes less and less predictable, developing and executing a clear succession plan has become even more difficult. To keep up with the pace of change, CHROs will need to rethink traditional succession planning.

Join this session to discuss:

• The biggest challenges in modern-day succession planning
• How to ensure your organization is well-equipped for an uncertain future
• Ways to manage employee expectations during the planning process
