Philadelphia CHRO Virtual Executive Summit

This year has been unlike any other. The cascading crisis across our health, economic and social systems have proven a critical inflection point for organizations and leaders as they continually face “make-or-break” decisions that amplify their workplace cultures in significant and lasting ways. What happens now as the world begins to slowly reopen?

Join this virtual keynote session to hear how CHROs are:

• Evaluating employee sentiment about the current state of workplace culture
• Implementing successful strategies in resilience during unprecedented times
• Successfully leading and inspiring employees to engage, produce and innovate despite unanticipated organizational challenges

Despite the odds, employees were happier at work by the end of 2020 than they were at the end of 2019, even though burnout continues to rise — with some employees and industries experiencing a tighter squeeze than others. Maintaining an engaged workforce through 2021 and beyond requires insight into employee sentiment and a distinct strategy to execute across all levels of leadership.

Join this session as HR leaders discuss:

• Understanding the precursors to burnout and how to address them
• Fostering a community of support, focus and refuge at work
• Methods to equip employees to navigate change and mitigate fatigue

Profound calls for racial equality in 2020 have put a new and sharper focus on diversity, equity and inclusion goals for the HR function. No matter the organizational size, budget or makeup, all CHROs are working to embed DE&I into longstanding company culture.

Join this session as HR leaders discuss:

• Areas for growth in recruiting diverse talent and cultivating inclusion and equity
• Educating the workforce on DE&I and empowering ERGs — what works and what doesn’t
• Strategies to track DE&I metrics over time

In these disrupted times, the enterprise has shifted organizational goals as well as what it requires from the workforce in the way of skills and leadership traits. Organizations are evolving, not only through a diversity lens, but with the new digital way of work.

Join this virtual keynote session to learn how to: 

• Build a more diverse candidate pipeline and succession plan
• Recruit and retain the best talent for the job as skills become more granular
• Achieve key business objectives through hiring success

As organizations adapt to remain competitive amidst rapid change, CHROs play a pivotal role in organization redesign and change management. As the rate of change accelerates into 2021, business transformation objectives must maintain a people-focused approach to mitigate change fatigue and maximize organizational effectiveness.

Join this session as HR leaders discuss:

• Methods to engage all levels of the organization in driving change
• The role HR should play in organization redesign
• How organizational design strategy should evolve for the new ways of working

Over the last year, what the enterprise desires from leaders has changed. Because of combined global crises, leaders are now expected to be more vulnerable, agile and resilient as they strive to hit organizational goals.

Join this session as HR leader discuss:

• Succession planning in the “new normal”
• Sourcing and developing a robust and diverse leadership bench
• Tactics to upskill and mentor the next generation of talent expeditiously

Connectivity has never been more essential as companies work to bridge the gap in hybrid work environments. The leadership provided by managers plays a vital role in maintaining a sense of belonging, whether employees are returning to the office or continuing to work remotely.

Join this session as HR leaders discuss:

• How to create a motivational atmosphere for employees in remote and hybrid work environments
• Challenges in promoting and building culture with new hires as well as permanent and temporary employees
• Strategies to build on engagement in the "new normal"

Heightened attention to the turbulence we face as a society has brought the world to an inflection point. What has worked in the past is unsustainable, and corporate social responsibility must take on a new meaning as organizations navigate work of the future. How are human resources leaders driving this transformation?

Join this virtual keynote session to learn how:

• DE&I must include belonging to be comprehensive and truly cultural
• Corporate responsibility impacts the workforce and brand reputation
• HR can create a larger impact on the future or work through DEI&B

The impacts of 2020 are still being studied, and the effects on the workplace and the workforce have been significant and, in some cases, permanent. When designing the new world of work, HR leaders must consider many variables and develop a plan that is both flexible and future-focused.

Join this session as HR leaders discuss:

• Workplace strategy, corporate real estate holdings and workforce skill needs
• Strategies to adapt forecast processes to account for frequent changes
• Considerations for returning to the workplace and alignment with business objectives
