Boston CHRO Executive Summit

The World Economic Forum named creativity one of the top must-have skills for success in all industries. It is the key to thriving in this era of rapid innovation and change. But very few organizations have truly invested in the development of this essential capability. Why? Because creativity is considered too intangible to measure, too messy to fit into a strategic plan or simply something that is only for a few specially talented people. In this engaging presentation, Artist/Author Noah Scalin pulls back the curtain on his own creative practice to explain the real ROI of creativity.
In this session, HR leaders will learn:

• Why creativity is a crucial skill for fostering innovation at your organization
• How to use creativity strategically for long-term impact
• Simple strategies that anyone can use to innovate, grow and inspire others

As the boundary between work and life has become increasingly blurry, people leaders are having to adapt to the changing needs of their workforce, and ensure they take into account employees’ personal circumstances. CHROs play a key role in shaping an inclusive and psychologically safe environment for the entire business, but how can they achieve such a huge task?

This keynote session will explore:

• How trust can help build healthy and high-performing teams
• What leaders can do to empower employees to bring their whole, human self to work
• Leveraging recognition to connect employees to each other and the organization

In the new world of work, and an all-time hot talent market, employees have many options to choose from when it comes to their careers. Still, a lack of career opportunities remains one of the top reasons for talents to leave their company.

Join this session as HR leaders discuss how to:

• Utilize AI and machine learning to create an Open Talent Market
• Drive cultural change where employees own their development
• Foster more transparency and internal Gig economy

Connectivity has never been more essential as companies work to bridge the gap in hybrid work environments.

Join this session as HR leaders discuss:

• How to create a motivational atmosphere for employees in remote and hybrid work environments
• Challenges in promoting and building culture with new hires as well as permanent and temporary employees
• Strategies to build on engagement in the "new normal"

As vaccines roll out and workers regain confidence in the job market, HR leaders must be prepared to compete for high-quality candidates.

In this session, HR leaders will learn how to:

• Best utilize surging demand to attract top and diverse talent
• Adapt to compete with pent-up attrition
• Design an EVP to reflect changing expectations of employees and candidates

The pandemic has not only had an impact socially and economically, the global health crisis is also ravaging mental health. Within the enterprise, the human resources function must provide the necessary support and resources to alleviate the burden on employees: boosting resilience.
