All organizations are on a mission to make the workplace diverse, equitable and inclusive. But as ongoing calls for racial justice reach a boiling point, the enterprise is now shifting course, elevating the voice of the employee on the culture change journey.

Join this keynote session as HR leaders discuss how to:

• Create safe spaces for workers to share vulnerable moments
• Make lasting change within the enterprise
• Evaluate organizational policies and procedures through an equity lens

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.

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.

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.

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

As employees juggle concerns about the future and work-life balance, the enterprise’s priority to maintain mental health and wellbeing have come more to the forefront. The HR function is a top resource as more employees reach out for assistance.

In this virtual boardroom, CHROs discuss ways to:

• Support and provide flexibility to working parents
