New York CHRO Executive Summit

Organizations will soon find themselves leading or lagging in the Generative AI space with Gartner research indicating that nearly 50% of CHROs are in the late stages of implementing AI solutions. By utilizing technology to anticipate change, decipher real-time insights and enable automated decision-making, CHROs can proactively shape high-performing organizations.

Join this keynote to explore how Gen AI can:

• Predict workforce trends and optimize talent strategies
• Enhance employee experiences before challenges arise
• Engineer organizational and cultural success

Recent executive orders have posed significant challenges to the DEI programs that CHROs have developed over the past several years. While it’s not yet clear how courts will interpret the orders, CHROs are tasked with reevaluating their DEI strategies without legal repercussions while also meeting employee demands for sustained access, leadership development, and a positive company culture.

In this workshop, CHROs will collaborate with peers to address:

• Balancing legal compliance and DEI governance with business objectives
• Evaluating the impact of DEI on leadership development and succession planning
• Understanding the needs of the workforce in a sensitive political climate

Gartner research shows less than half of employees are satisfied with their organizations’ career development opportunities. Despite the need to retain and find key talent, the same research shows only 34% of organizations help in visualizing these paths to growth.
In this boardroom, CHROs will discuss best practices in:

• Developing partnerships between employees and managers in career development
• Coaching and career conversations to make employees feel supported
• Building career paths that create opportunities for internal mobility

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.

Over the past five years, Daiichi Sankyo Inc has embarked, on a transformative journey. Central to this transformation, has been its people strategy, which was developed through a deep understanding of the business strategy, truly listening to employees and leaders and the implementation of people analytics. By tackling critical issues such as employee engagement and burnout, the company has achieved remarkable results, including heightened employee engagement and record-low attrition rates.

In this case study, CHROs will hear:

• How a five-year people strategy was developed, embedded and implemented
• Investment to listen to employees and the effective use of data and analytics to identify and address organizational challenges
• Innovative practices for recruitment, on-boarding, growth, development and building culture

Gartner research indicates "ready now" successors often become disengaged or seek other opportunities. By choosing "ready enough" successors, leaders can boost engagement and retention without compromising essential skills.
Join this session to discuss:

• Modernizing talent management to meet organizational skills needed
• Accelerating the readiness of the leadership bench
• Growing talent for engagement and performance

CEOs surveyed by Gartner say talent shortage is the top damaging factor for the enterprise. Despite that fact, only 15% of organizations reported practicing strategic workforce planning (SWP) last year. How can CHROs streamline SWP to align with current and future business needs while remaining adaptable to change?
Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Optimizing SWP processes while reducing complexities
• Adapting strategies to meet short and long-term goals
• Matching talent needs with enterprise aspirations

Culture must transcend words on a page. For Chief People Officer Michael Fraccaro that journey meant leading Mastercard’s 35,000+ workforce through an evolved culture framework and defining quantifiable ways to measure its impact

Join this keynote to hear how Mastercard is:

• Personalizing employee experience to drive engagement and improve experiences
• Enhancing capabilities for ongoing growth and development
• Building accountability across the enterprise to deliver on culture
