San Francisco CHRO Community
Virtual Executive Summit

The world of work is evolving, and the most successful organizations are embracing career mobility — investing in their people and developing their talent. Providing your employees with fresh opportunities boosts their morale, which creates higher employee retention, increased engagement and more valuable contributions for your organization. Implementing a skill-based development strategy is the first step to achieving this mobility.

In this session, you will explore:

• Aligning fellow leaders across the organization around reskilling
• Practical insights on a skills-based vs HR based strategy
• Peer best practices around internal mobility

Wellness is different in 2020. As people struggle to balance home and work while coping with unprecedented uncertainty and stress, taking time for self-care is vital to resiliency. Employers have stepped up in many ways to support the workforce, and employees are taking advantage of these resources in record numbers.

Join this virtual boardroom to discuss:

• How wellness benefits correlate with employee engagement
• Trends in wellbeing and how employers can support the workforce
• The future of wellness in a remote environment

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

Join this informal and interactive networking session to connect with your San Francisco CHRO peers. In this session, the San Francisco community will have the chance to share their takeaways from the program in small groups and walk away with at least one new connection. 

2020 could be best described as a resiliency stress test with both personal and professional effects. While some leaders have thrived, others have struggled to maintain engagement and morale. How has your leadership style adapted to accommodate evolving needs during this latest disruption?

This virtual keynote will discuss:

• Trends in leadership development during the pandemic
• Incorporating introspective behavioral changes to remain agile in the ultra-competitive marketplace
• Leveraging strengths to lay the foundation for sustained leadership development

On top of the mental health crisis America was facing before 2020, this year has created a host of new stressors: A global pandemic, an economic crisis and conflict around racial justice issues. Organizations are embracing every opportunity to support the workforce, including focusing on mental health and creating new dialogues around DE&I. 

Join this session to discuss:

• How employers can enable courageous conversations on DE&I and mental health 
• Unique challenges for remote, hybrid and in-person workforces, and adapting to new challenges like homeschooling, caregiving, and burnout 
• Practical steps to cultivate resilience and empower employees in the face of ongoing crises

Diversity, equity and inclusion are more than just metrics, and the unique challenges of 2020 have brought organizational efforts to advance DE&I to the forefront of conversation. Building an inclusive culture starts with understanding the dynamics at play within your organization and a dedication to meaningful, consistent changes.

Join this virtual boardroom to discuss:

• Workforce expectations around social justice causes and DE&I
• Strategies and challenges in building an inclusive culture, remotely

Employee experience is critical to the success of the business, yet many organizations struggle to deliver on the expectations of the workforce. Employee experience is closely tied to business results and as organizations plan for long term remote work, organizations must adjust how they support the workforce in order to drive results.

Join this virtual keynote to explore:

• Strategies to navigate between customer and employee experience
• How driving business results starts with employee experience
• Tips for sustaining momentum and taking care of employees in times of crisis

Meet virtually for in-depth conversations with your colleagues

Conducting business virtually makes it more challenging to meet and network with like-minded peers. During this time of disruption and uncertainty, it’s become even more critical to collaborate with peers who are facing the same challenges.
