Denver CHRO Executive Summit

CHROs are always hunting for ways to squash culture killers, cultivate a fun business climate and boost employee relationships. In Dr. Daren Martin’s top-selling book, “A Company of Owners,” he provides a blueprint for business leaders to build a thriving culture and maximize employee engagement. In this session, he will teach you how to create a company of “owners of security.” Be ready to create your BAM – Business Actionable Mantra!

All CHROs want to be thought of as a business partner, but Paxton Baker believes CHROs need to think of themselves as entrepreneurs to be true business partners. From his experience at BET Networks and Viacom, Baker will examine the origins of HR and how this field plays one of the most vital roles in all organizations.

In this session you will:

• Reexamine how to think of the role of the CHRO
• Dive into the vital value of human capital in every organization

What does it mean to be an HR business partner? For Mark Bishop it meant focusing the HR department around a mission that would allow for organizational effectiveness.

• Learn about the mission of HR at Terumo BCT
• Evaluate how your HR team can focus on impact

The HR potential in robotics, AI and machine learning is undeniable. Companies can use these technologies to save time, eliminate error and generate revenue. The goal is to achieve big things with little disruption to employees.

In this boardroom you will discuss:

• Explore the best ways to get started with these emerging technologies.  
• Discuss leveraging these technologies to enhance the employee experience.
• Evaluate the benefits of creating less process based, and more strategic roles.

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).

The City of Denver has created its Employee Experience program with a view to compete. Learn how the city aligned their employees’ life cycle with the city's goals and to increase employee retention and engagement.

In this session, you will:

• Identify brand champions within your organization
• Explore how to increase support by your customers and audiences  
• Analyze employee feedback and surveys to measure the impact of employee engagement strategy

Companies are addressing diversity and inclusion challenges, but how much progress is being made? Their intent is good, yet recent methods may not be promoting a workplace of true inclusion at an accelerated pace. To truly build a network where diversity is inclusive, organizations must open up the connections across diverse groups collaborating toward common goals.

In this boardroom you will discuss:

• Discuss how to partner across the business to create a diverse and inclusive workspace
• Explore practices to impact the diversity of your candidate pool
• Examine strategies to retain diverse talent

If you are interested in helping to lead a discussion on one of the above topics please contact Laurel Temme at Laurel.Temme@evanta.com or 971-222-2372.
