Today’s organizations can be frustrating. Employees must navigate a maze of policies and procedures, disconnected technologies and siloed departments. Getting simple things done can be a chore, leaving employees feeling stuck and overwhelmed. This reduces productivity, engagement, retention and ultimately hurts an employer’s brand. How can we make our service more valuable to employees so they can provide valuable service to the organization? What if we put the employee at the center of our HR strategies? Join us as we discuss how to reinvent the employee service experience and make life for employees more like their everyday consumer experiences.

Leveraging the Future of HR to Activate Your Talent

Vice President, Talent Activation Strategy

The Marcus Buckingham Company, an ADP company

Your organization’s talent is its biggest competitive advantage, but chances are you’re not leveraging it to its full potential. The reason is simple: your talent tools are built for HR, not for your people. The future of HR does not lie in the tools we build and deploy for ourselves. The future lies in HR’s ability to add value to real people doing real work. To do this, you need tools that give your workforce what it needs. Agile technology can help your employees produce extraordinary results in their world of work, not the hypothetical world of HR. Join Christian Gomez and discover how putting the end-user first will help HR succeed. Walk away understanding how to harness the uniqueness that lets people do more of their best work and drives better business results.
