How can HR leaders transform a potential liability into a brand advantage by incorporating equity into day to day pay practices? 

Join this virtual town hall, as HR leaders discuss ways to:

  • Analyze pay across gender, race and ethnicity to identify gaps
  • Systematically resolve issues through proactive interventions
  • Effectively communicate pay policies internally and publicly

Organizations’ ability to survive, adapt and grow hinge on recruiting and retaining high-quality talent. But in the current hiring landscape, many CHROs are finding that it has become an employee market, making it necessary to up the ante. How are CHROs enticing and hanging onto talent in this landscape amongst intense competition? 

Join this session as HR leaders discuss: 

  • Methods for exceeding employee expectations including compensation, benefits, flexibility and additional creative solutions
  • Strategies for competing in the current employee market
  • Ideas for strengthening culture amid a largely decentralized work environment

Many organizations have spent years on DE&I programs but yielded limited results. While incremental progress has been made, accountability and sustainability remain elusive. Now — in the modern age of people analytics — employers are better able to pinpoint the root cause of workforce representation gaps, measure feelings of belonging and inclusion, and utilize data to make measurable DE&I improvements.

Join this virtual keynote to learn how you can:

  • Form an inclusive environment by equipping the workforce with tools, vocabulary, and behavior that promotes belonging for everyone
  • Change the enterprise’s relationship with data to measure change and create more visibility around progress toward DE&I goals
  • Lead with the heart by leaning into the power of community
