Southern California CHRO Virtual Executive Summit

In a year of economic uncertainty, global disruption, and social unrest, HR has been at the forefront of the most important decisions facing business. As a monumental year winds down, we’ll hear how top CHROs are applying hard-won lessons about the nature of work, business strategy, and the HR profession itself. 

This keynote discussion will explore:

• Opportunities seized in a year of crisis
• The implications of a changed talent landscape
• The state of the relationship between HR and the business

On top of the mental health crisis America was facing before 2020, this year has created a host of new stressors: A global pandemic, an economic crisis and conflict around racial justice issues. Organizations are embracing every opportunity to support the workforce, including focusing on mental health and creating new dialogues around DE&I. 

Join this session to discuss:

• How employers can enable courageous conversations on DE&I and mental health 
• Unique challenges for remote, hybrid and in-person workforces, and adapting to new challenges like homeschooling, caregiving, and burnout 
• Practical steps to cultivate resilience and empower employees in the face of ongoing crises

Join Harvard Business School instructor Lorne Rubis as he shares hard-won lessons on creating an intentional company culture that will help your organization thrive in a time of uncertainty. 

This year has introduced many new obstacles for business leaders, but with change and adversity comes the power of possibility and opportunities.

In this session, you will discuss:

• Acceleration and transformation of technology
• Strategies for overcoming talent obstacles presented by COVID-19
