Philadelphia CHRO Executive Summit

What’s the number one reason to create a diverse and inclusive workplace? According to Carol Pandza, CHRO at AmeriHealth Caritas, it’s simply the right thing to do. Other reasons — generating business value, engagement and culture — come in at a close second. In this session, Pandza and Ky’a Jackson will share their experience with creating a successful D&I program, building trust and collaboration, and engaging leaders in promoting D&I efforts. Join them to learn what it takes to create a diverse and inclusive workforce and how it helps the business.

Doing more with less is an enigmatic practice many try to master. When faced with the challenge of having to reduce HR Generalists costs and headcount, Jason Clifford and Honeywell’s Aerospace business created an HR client model centered around this less is more philosophy. They asked themselves, can an HR team with fewer people better serve employees, increase revenue and shrink HR turnover rates? Join Clifford as he shares the story of how Aerospace has built the most efficient HR organization in the company and looks ahead as this model rolls out across the rest of Honeywell’s business units.

Technology is ever-changing, and its potential is undeniable. Jay Wilkinson, of PNC Financial Services, leads a team that successfully applies data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning for HR. PNC’s work with these emerging technologies has turned potential into value for the organization. Join Wilkinson as he shares how PNC’s HR data and analytics function takes a proactive approach that has helped increase sales, boost employee retention and recharge recruiting. 

Whether your organization is currently a buyer, seller or both, debates are undoubtedly underway about the future of your organization. Corporate transactions remain a key part in virtually all corporate strategies. What is the right role for HR in M&A? Scott Oberstaedt and Brad Messinger will lead a discussion on how top HR departments contribute in transactions throughout the deal life cycle — target evaluation, due diligence integration planning and implementation.

CHROs can enable a culture of engagement, and health and wellness through the right benefits and engagement strategies. As employers continue to invest in benefits and digital health programs, how well do these investments align with employee interest and motivation? In this session, assess how employees’ priorities compare overall to employers’ priorities and learn effective, holistic strategies for involving your workforce in benefits and wellbeing programs. Join Nancy Fantuzzi as she explores how your workforce can get the most value from their health benefits programs, how these programs can be leveraged to drive engagement and how technology can further enable engagement strategies.

Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic. These private, closed-door discussions encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to CHROs).
