New York CHRO Executive Summit

Exclusive to Governing Body members and select guests, this dinner is a can’t-miss opportunity to connect with your peers prior to tomorrow’s Executive Summit. Please join your colleagues for an evening of good food, wine, and lively networking.

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Evanta’s Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

The social contract between employees and employers is rapidly transforming. As people evaluate and prioritize their goals, personal lives, and overall relationship to work in a labor market that favors employee choice, CHROs must be thoughtful about the entire employee experience to effectively attract and retain top talent.

Join this keynote to learn:

• How employee well-being impacts recruiting and retention
• How the development of career pathways will support your talent attraction & retention goals
• Why employers will face a reckoning on people vs. profit

ESG programming is an emerging yet pivotal focus for HR leaders. COVID-19 and the rise of social movements have companies taking hard stances— which is shaping decision-making factors for potential employees, consumers and investors alike. As CHROs continue to see their roles elevated, they are positioned as key influencers and decision-makers to form and create ESG programming.

In this session, HR leaders will discuss:

• Ways to incorporate DE&I into the ‘social’ of ESG
• Strategies to align ESG and HR strategy
• How CHROs can become strategic partners to the board

As a talent leader, you can’t be in the middle of every decision, yet you are certainly accountable for the sum of the outcomes. People analytics and data are helping CHROs connect the individual hiring and retention decision with a more cohesive strategy. Some organizations use the sharing of people data outside HR to move the needle on Retention, DEI, Cost and much more. The best practices are still emerging, and CHROs are becoming more like CFOs when it comes to data.

Join this boardroom as HR leaders discuss ways to:

• Keep people decisions aligned to strategy (and make sure they are fact-based)
• Discover the business outcomes that other CHROs are impacting
• Learn how others are effectively sharing people data outside of HR

After engagement survey results showed room for improvement, Chief People Officer Liz Dente revamped and revitalized Priceline’s learning and development strategy to give employees control over their own future.

Join this interactive session to learn how to:

• Build an engaging learning and development program
• Democratize professional development with clear career pathways
• Empower employees to take ownership over their career progression and development 

HR leaders have navigated the shift in how, when and where employees work. Now is the time to rethink the future of performance management to keep up with the rapid pace of change. How can organizations best develop effective teams in distributed environments?

Join this session as HR leaders discuss:

• How to empower and prepare managers to provide continuous, ongoing feedback
• Methods to leverage learning and development for employees’ professional development
• Strategies to enable high-performing, hybrid teams

Having a diverse leadership talent pool and a robust succession plan is now more critical than ever as the events of the past 18 months have challenged leadership styles across many organizations.

Company-wide change is much needed even on the Board level, where HR leaders identify the need for new skills, aiming to adapt to the demands of the digital era.

Join this discussion as CHROs address:

• How a diverse workforce can help enterprises boost business performance and reduce succession risks
• Streamlining your leadership risk strategy to ensure effective internal decision-making
• How much are organizations’ pledges for diversity in leadership backed by internal change?

Diversity, equity and inclusion efforts have become paramount after a reckoning on racial equity and a global health crisis. Now Chief Inclusion Officer at Mastercard, Randall Tucker has worked in DE&I for 20 years and will share his perspective on the DEI landscape, current imperatives for CHROs, and what’s next in the journey to build inclusion for all.

In this keynote, Randall will share:

• How to bring everyone along in the journey toward inclusion
• Mastercard’s “In Solidarity” plan and a five-year commitment to creating equal opportunities for all
• Strategies to regionalize and target DEI efforts across geographies
