Vancouver, BC CHRO Virtual Executive Summit

After a critical year for health and wellness, CHROs are looking ahead as life returns to a new normal. The implications of the pandemic will become more clear as trends around mental health, long term COVID symptoms and other lasting effects emerge. As HR leaders look to support employees, they should take a holistic well-being perspective to improve the employee experience at every level.

Join this fireside chat to learn about:

• The link between well-being and employee engagement
• Emerging health and wellness trends and key considerations for CHROs
• Strategies to integrate well-being programs into the employee experience

Despite a renewed focus on DE&I, HR leaders and employees alike report efforts still coming up short. To foster true belonging, inclusion practices should be integrated into the small, everyday moments that make up the employee experience.

Join this session as HR leaders discuss:

• Why reducing exclusion may not necessarily lead to higher levels of inclusion
• Ways to develop modern leaders who foster connection and belonging
• How organizations can use their recognition program to support inclusion, build connection and mitigate exclusion

Leadership is a skill that needs to be honed, whether leading the C-suite or in an entry-level role. With more than 90% of HR leaders looking to implement a hybrid work model, what’s the best way to adapt to the new work environment in a sustainable way?

Join this session as HR leaders discuss:

• Fostering leadership development and team connection
• Challenges in leadership with a hybrid workforce
• Strategies to ensure culture and connection are in place across all teams

As we come upon the mid-point of 2021, what initiatives are you most proud of as a leader? What are your passion projects in your professional and personal lives? Join this interactive and collaborative session to connect and celebrate the bright spots in a demanding career — and year.

In today’s ever-evolving business environment, HR leaders must think about workforce strategy in an entirely new context. As the rate of change increases, executing effective workforce planning will require CHROs to reassess workforce needs, locations, mix and overall employee experience.  

Join this session as HR leaders discuss:

• Diversifying employment models with contingent, gig and remote workers
• Planning workforce needs based on key skills rather than traditional roles
• Implementing a plan that addresses future business and talent needs

Skill needs are advancing faster than ever, talent pools now extend beyond geographical locations, and employee expectations continue to rise. As the labor market returns to pre-pandemic levels, how can HR leaders attract and retain top talent in an increasingly competitive marketplace?

In this session, you will explore ways to:

• Develop a more resilient workforce, talent strategy, and employee/employer relationship
• Reimagine the employee experience in the context of hybrid work models
• Address skill gaps through accelerated internal talent mobility

Employee experience and connectivity have never been more essential as companies work to bridge the gap in hybrid work environments. Leadership plays a vital role in maintaining a sense of belonging and culture, whether employees are returning to the office or continuing to work remotely.

Join this session as HR leaders discuss:

• How to create a connected and  motivational atmosphere for employees in hybrid and remote environments

• Challenges in promoting and building culture with both new and established employees
• Strategies to strengthen employee engagement in the new normal

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

Don't miss this opportunity to meet with CHRO practitioners and industry thought leaders who shared their insights on the agenda. Come with questions from the sessions you attended in this gathering designed to foster peer connections and collaboration in the Vancouver, BC community.

The blurring of work-life lines, a renewed focus on social justice issues, and shifting workforce demographics have led employee expectations to become higher than ever.

Join this keynote as CHROs discuss:

• Tying social responsibility and public messaging to the employee value proposition
• Implementing deeper connections to support employee well-being beyond the workplace
• Fostering organization-wide purpose and connection to build belonging and inclusion
