Southern California CHRO Executive Summit

Welcome to the 2018 Southern California CHRO Leadership Summit!

How do we, as leaders, stay on top of the fast-evolving technological trends that are changing how we manage talent? A key is to get beyond overly-simplistic questions such as "How many people will lose their jobs to automation?" or "How much money can we save by replacing humans with automation?" Join John Boudreau while he describes ground-breaking research from his new book, “Reinventing Jobs.”

In this session, Boudreau will discuss:

• · Why bundling jobs to create optimal human-machine combinations should be the approach to reinventing how work gets done
• · How leaders can ask better questions – and get better answers – by using a structured four-step approach: deconstruct, optimize, automate and reconfigure
• · How organizations can achieve higher performance

Activision Blizzard is leveraging technology to offer the best services to its employees at a lower cost. Brian Stolz discusses the benefits your organization’s culture, revenue and customers can reap by investing in employee well-being.

• The successes and challenges to implementing an employee well-being initiative
• How to shift your organization’s mindset from treating ailments to actively pursuing wellness
• How to heighten workforce productivity through benefits

The public domain probably has more accurate talent data about your workforce than your internal HR systems. CHROs need to explore the next generation of talent profiling and how they can improve the content, adoption and utilization of employee data.

In this session you will learn:

• How AI can help organizations respond to some of the most common engagement challenges related to career development and career pathing
• How to engage your workforce through talent networks, collaboration, mentoring and knowledge-sharing communities

The state of the workplace – with a focus on teams and new employee expectations – requires a total reimagining of the way organizations manage employee performance. The emphasis on employee experience and shift away from bureaucracy toward more transparency and trust demands a softer, more human approach to employee performance strategy.

In this discussion we’ll examine:

• How the shift to team-based work is changing how we motivate and develop people
• Why positivity is so essential to build a culture of trust and openness to all feedback
• The power of real-time feedback for managers and peers
• A multi-pronged approach to changing performance management, including training and communication needs

Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic. These private, closed-door discussions encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to CHROs).
