San Francisco CHRO Executive Summit

Exclusive to Governing Body members and select guests, this dinner is a can’t-miss opportunity to connect with your peers prior to tomorrow’s Executive Summit. Please join your colleagues for an evening of good food, wine, and lively networking.

A record number four million people quit their jobs in April with signs that the Great Resignation is not slowing down, as many surveys suggest at least 50% of the workforce anticipates looking for a new job in the coming months. While there’s no one reason for employee turnover and no magic bullet to keep top talent, HR leaders can help one another get a pulse on trends and elevate their retention strategies.

Join this interactive session to benchmark with your peers:

• Turnover trends across a spectrum of industries
• HR leader perceptions on employee turnover
• HR strategies to mitigate turnover

Today’s organizations have had to adapt to a wide range of market challenges. The transformations CHROs tend to talk about most are the big, strategic initiatives. These include everything from mergers and acquisitions to new, often digital, business models. But more often than not, businesses need to transform on many levels, continuously, and especially with an operational focus on driving ever greater efficiencies. While transformation comes in ever-increasing waves of stop/start lurches from one ‘new normal’ to the next, this interactive session will answer questions including:

• What is HR’s role in transformation and organizational design, and how can they have a bigger role in the business?
• How can HR leaders evolve their approach to transformation & organizational design?
• What does data and technology bring to the table in delivering more effective change?

Employee burnout continues to rise to unprecedented levels. Over the last year it has contributed to the exodus of a talented workforce, reduced profitability and declining employee engagement. At best, workers are feeling undervalued and overwhelmed by their workloads and an ever-changing work environment; at worst, burnout is bleeding into customer experience and the personal lives of employees.

Join this session to discuss how to:

• Identify signs of burnout and help your team become first-responders
• Understand costs of burnout including retention, engagement, belonging, presenteeism and profitability
• Prepare a protection strategy to tackle workforce burnout

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Evanta’s Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

We are in the midst of an accelerated digital revolution, hybrid work is here to stay, and it’s creating a pivotal moment for diversity and inclusion. This new era of hybrid work will create an unprecedented opportunity for people to participate–at scale–beyond the four walls of an office. As HR leaders we have an opportunity to create a future of work that’s more inclusive, more connected and more collaborative than ever before.

Join this closing keynote to think bigger and wider about:

• ‘The great hybrid experiment’
• Reimagining what’s possible at the intersection of diversity, inclusion, collaboration and technology
• Using collaboration technology to embed DEI into your hybrid experience

By 2030, Millennial and Gen Z employees will make up 72% of the workforce. How do we engage, motivate and manage the digital natives in a way that is compelling and impactful—especially in the time of COVID?

Join this session to learn:

• The impact of the 4th industrial revolution
• Key insights on Millennial and Gen Z generations
• What this means for the future of HR

Social distancing and remote work brought about innovation around the future of work— but also disrupted the sense of community for employees, both personal and professional. With traditional spaces for connection limited, how can CHROs continue to support the holistic wellbeing of employees?

Join this session to discuss:

• How to address well-being at the organizational level
• The impact of hybrid work on employee well-being, in particular women
• Ways to recreate a sense of community and connection

HR leaders have navigated the shift in how, when and where employees work. Now is the time to rethink the future of performance management to keep up with the rapid pace of change. How can organizations best develop effective teams in distributed environments?

Join this session as HR leaders discuss:

• How to empower and prepare managers to provide continuous, ongoing feedback
• Methods to leverage learning and development for employees’ professional development
• Strategies to enable high-performing, hybrid teams
