Philadelphia CHRO Virtual Executive Summit

Creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace has been a goal for decades, but this year the call for meaningful change has caused organizations to shift that goal to one of their top priorities. As leaders of people and culture, CHROs must blaze a path for the movement, taking action that propels the organization forward.

Join this keynote session to hear HR leaders discuss:

• The present and future of diversity, equity and inclusion
• Substantive actions organizations can take in advancing DE&I
• Road maps to impact change

The tragic reality of systemic racism is at the forefront of America’s consciousness—and this time it feels different. HR leaders are playing a critical role in infusing diversity, equity and inclusion into their organizations for the health of corporate America and society overall.

In this virtual roundtable, HR leaders discuss:

• Engaging the workforce in difficult conversations about race and equity
• Holding leaders and managers accountable for allyship and true culture changes
• Long-term strategy that puts the organization on the path to DE&I

Remote work and restrictive travel policies have accelerated the pre-existing trend towards digital-first, on-demand learning and development. But delivery is only one aspect of L&D undergoing a transformation, as organizations rethink the roles and skills they need for the future.

• Aligning your L&D offerings with the changing demands of the business
• Meeting employee expectations of a consumer-like experience
• Onboarding new workers in a remote environment

He will share how his learnings from that experience have helped him to continue creating and connecting despite the challenges of this moment in time.

Join this keynote to learn:

• Actionable lessons to unleash creativity to solve business problems
• Creative concepts to maintain employee engagement in an era of remote work
• How to jump-start and sustain creative leadership

Many organizations have been forced operate remotely, with many establishing new tools to create comfortable work environments for employees. But, as employees transition back to the workplace, CHROs must confront the fear around Covid-19 while promoting ways to maintain employee’s mental health and wellbeing.

Join this virtual boardroom to discuss ways to:

• Cultivate resilience to empower employees
• Support the mental health of your workforce
• Plan for the future of work and its impact on mental health and wellbeing programs

Tacit institutional knowledge is one of many benefits to developing internal leadership. What competencies are most important when developing a leadership bench in 2020, and how is HR supporting the business to identify internal talent with the qualities necessary to succeed?

Join this virtual boardroom to discuss:

• Identifying high-potential talent in a virtual environment
• Ensuring a robust, diverse succession bench
• Developing a leadership curriculum for the new way of working

The path to the new world of work is different for each organization. But businesses that listen to their employees and help them adapt to change will set themselves up for long-term success.

In this session you will explore how to:

• Respond rapidly to your organization’s changing needs
• Create a thoughtful recovery plan that’s tailored to your unique situation
• Transform your strategy for long-term success by putting your people at the center
