In the past 15 years, 52% of Fortune 500 companies have disappeared. As executive teams have become aware that no business is insulated from increasingly competitive global markets, they’ve realized that their one lasting competitive advantage is culture. Simultaneously, employees have noticed that their companies need them more than they need their companies, and they have new demands. If these demands aren’t met, they will leave — or never come onboard at all. Companies must invest in culture to drive next-level performance from their best employees.

In this talk Daniel Jacobs will cover:

• Why culture will drive more value than sales for businesses of the future
• Why extraordinary culture is the only lasting competitive advantage
• How to scale a great culture that supports desired results for companies and employees

Recruitment today is not the same as it will be in five years. Recruiting teams will be called on to develop new skills, master new metrics, and adopt new tools.

In this session Jennifer Shappley will:

• Recruiting will be mission critical
• Your metrics will track outcomes, not just actions
• Tech tools will unleash your team’s potential
• Recruiters will be less like sales people and more like business people

In today’s quickly transforming world, it is vital to build a culture focused on the mission, vision, and values of the organization. Learn how Kurt Peterson builds an employee experience that embraces connection, recognition, and inclusion.

In this session, Peterson will explore:

• Making the unknown, known
• Creating a defined roadmap for the organization
• Authentically living your values

Knowing what your employee engagement is no longer enough, and our traditional approaches to engagement have been more focused on measurement than movement. In this boardroom, you will:

• Learn why engagement should be a tool, not a target
• Explore how real organizations have achieved double digit growth in engagement in less than 6 months
• Discuss the challenges associated with shifting your organizations mindset from engagement being top down to team leader out 

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 C-level executives). To reserve your seat, please contact Laurel Temme at Laurel.Temme@evanta.com

Engagement is an outcome of the employee experience, leadership, and diversity and inclusion. But how should CHROs truly think about these pieces as intersectional and what are the benefits of a holistic approach?

In this session, Pattie Money will:

• Discuss the importance of thinking about engagement from multiple angles
• Explore why a singular plan around D&I or engagement won’t solve any problems and the importance of a plan that brings things together in a way that is cohesive and impactful
• Examine the criticality of reporting to your workforce

As talent pools continue to restrict and tenured workforces approach the precipice of retirement, it becomes increasingly important to have a leadership development strategy in place to ensure the front-line employees of today are prepared to be your next-level leaders of tomorrow.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• New methods to develop your top leadership
• Successful strategies to identify and advance your next-level talent
• The latest learning techniques to ensure growth meets potential

Two years post the explosive #MeToo movement, the call for leaders to create safe workplace environments promoting career growth for everyone, regardless of gender or ethnicity is in full swing. Grace Killelea discusses how reflecting on our corporate cultures, leadership development and skill-building can strengthen talent retention, create a rewarding and innovative culture and hinder the growth of these  #metoo situations.

In this session, she discusses:

• An update on the state of the#MeToo movement and its impact on Diversity and Inclusion efforts
• The need to access our corporate cultures and bullying in the workplace
• Evaluating what we are rewarding.
• Helping good leaders move the needle through coaching, feedback and increased emotional intelligence
