Upskilling is essential when you’re preparing an organization to take on the future because skills are the key to driving learning relevancy and personalization. CHROs need to bring learning and talent together to create a holistic career experience. In this session, you will learn how to create an innovative and agile workforce that stays resilient amid the most unpredictable challenges through upskilling.

In this session, you will explore:

• Why organizations should evolve their focus from credentials to skills
• How skills influence career development at the organization and individual level
• The importance of clarifying skills vs. competencies and creating a taxonomy

HR has the power to guide enterprise strategy into reality. To do this, it is critical that HR leaders reinvigorate their workforce, help employees feel invested in the C-suite’s vision and foster an environment that sets the organization on a course of engagement, entrepreneurship and innovation.

In this virtual boardroom, discuss how to:

• Enable a flexible workforce that weathers challenges and retains top talent
• Get buy-in from employees beyond engagement scores and surveys
• Create an employee experience enriched by your core values

Because of ongoing disruption and the evolving work landscape, the organization’s talent and leadership expectations have changed. Business models have shifted, requiring a new approach to talent and teams as the enterprise makes way for the next wave of transformation.

Join this session as HR leaders discuss ways to: 

• Create a robust people pipeline, sourcing candidates from outside the typical avenues 
• Appeal to candidates with the skills and potential you’re looking for 
• Attract diverse candidates and reduce bias while recruiting the most qualified applicants

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

Of all the challenges CHROs faced in 2020, one of the greatest came from inside the organization. For many, overcoming roadblocks stemming from internal cultural norms proved more difficult than expected. 

Join this session to discuss strategies for overcoming internal roadblocks to: 

• Enhance your company’s approach to DE&I  
• Develop a new generation of leaders  
• Create a lasting culture of change that enables new business models
