Seattle CHRO Community
Virtual Executive Summit

Meet virtually for in-depth conversations with your colleagues

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

Employee experience begins with belonging. Whether your organization is operating under a hybrid model or is fully remote, HR leaders must focus on culture continuity by ensuring employee engagement and belonging are a top priority. Still facing an uncertain future, how are HR leaders working with the C-suite to promote this integral part of employee experience?

Join this interactive virtual boardroom to discuss:

• How an inclusive culture that fosters belonging can elevate the employee experience
• Positive impacts of recognition and praise on productivity and retention
• Challenges to cultivating culture continuity and engagement

Over the last year, change has become a constant among many organizations as culture has evolved, processes have shifted and technology is upgraded. HR leaders must secure the right talent as they lead digital transformation efforts and innovate for the future of work.

Join this session as HR leaders discuss: 

• The power of a strong virtual sourcing and recruiting strategy
• Best practices in attracting and retaining the talent needed to succeed
• Methods of navigating the recruiting landscape and accelerating the transition to virtual hiring

Despite a renewed focus on DE&I, HR leaders and employees still report efforts coming up short. To achieve a true culture change, leaders must think differently about inclusion, creating equal opportunities for diverse employees to thrive and elevate.

Join this session as HR leaders discuss:

• Why reducing exclusion may not necessarily lead to higher levels of inclusion
• Sustainable inclusion strategies that begin before recruiting and extend beyond onboarding
• How organizations can use their recognition program to support inclusion, build connection, and mitigate exclusion

Increasing diversity among leadership is imperative, but many organizations struggle to find effective solutions to close the gap. While the enterprise has improved diverse recruiting and hiring, the challenge now lies in adopting new approaches to career support; a resource the HR function provides.

Join this virtual keynote session to learn:

• Impactful levers for improving diverse representation in leadership
• Why supporting and growing diverse leaders is paramount for the health of the organization
• Practical tips and tricks for HR leaders around designing programs with diversity in mind
