Atlanta 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

The conversation around diversity, equity, and inclusion has changed radically in the past year. It is more urgent, with employees and customers alike demanding real change. It is also broader, touching every aspect of the enterprise. 

 In this virtual boardroom, CHROs will discuss:

• How the conversation around DE&I has changed at their organizations
• What changes they are making to recruiting, onboarding, and talent development
• How technology can help organizations reach their DE&I goals

The world of work is evolving, and the most successful organizations are embracing career mobility — investing in their people and developing their talent. Providing your employees with fresh opportunities boosts their morale, which creates higher employee retention, increased engagement and more valuable contributions for your organization. Implementing a skill-based development strategy is the first step to achieving this mobility.

In this session, you will explore:

• Aligning fellow leaders across the organization around reskilling
• Practical insights on a skills-based vs HR based strategy
• Peer best practices around internal mobility

Employee experience is critical to the success of the business, yet many organizations struggle to deliver on the expectations of the workforce. Employee experience is closely tied to business results and as organizations plan for long term remote work, organizations must adjust how they support the workforce in order to drive results.

Join this virtual keynote to explore:

• Strategies to navigate between customer and employee experience
• How driving business results starts with employee experience
• Tips for sustaining momentum and taking care of employees in times of crisis

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

Onboarding looks different now. Whether dealing with essential workers operating in a socially distanced workplace or remote employees who have never set foot in your offices, it is imperative to shorten time to impact, transmit company culture, and promote collaboration in your new hires – all in an environment that still feels unfamiliar.

In this boardroom, you’ll discuss:

• Shortening time to impact in an uncertain, remote environment
• Ensuring new employees feel connected to colleagues and the organization
• Integrating employees into your company’s culture

Join this informal and interactive networking session to connect with your Atlanta CHRO peers. In this session, the Atlanta community will have the chance to share their takeaways from the program in small groups and walk away with at least one new connection.

This year has revealed in dramatic fashion just how important working parents are for your organization – and how much they rely on formal and informal networks of support. How are HR leaders supporting parents as the current crisis drags on, and how can you plan for a post-pandemic childcare landscape? 

In this boardroom, you’ll discuss:

• Navigating the changing relationship between working parents and their employers
• Providing targeted, equitable support for different employee populations
• Rethinking how you approach dependent care going forward

In these disrupted times, HR is more frequently taking the pulse of the workforce as employees navigate personal stress and lean on the enterprise to confront an uncertain future. Collecting, analyzing and acting on employee sentiment has never been more essential to the health and success of the organization.

Join this virtual boardroom to explore how to:

• Listen and improve the experience for every employee
• Go beyond data to drive immediate change
• Apply lessons learned from a year of disruption
