The world of HR is evolving. Are you ready? As the speed of innovation, technology and generational changes make the HR landscape more complex, companies must keep pace by digitally addressing workforce challenges.

Join Susanne DiCocco and Kathy Penner as they explore the trends and discuss HR’s role in supporting the shift to a digital labor force.

Once-a-year performance reviews are out of sync with the pace of business today and annual reviews do little to develop talent or boost employee performance on their own. Forward-thinking organizations are shifting toward more frequent and impactful discussions around short-term priorities. They are empowering managers, peers and teams to provide crowdsourced feedback – often at the employee’s request – with a focus on career development and positive reinforcement. Discuss how a more positive, human approach to performance is critical to attracting and retaining high-performing teams and fostering workplace environments where people can do the best work of their lives.

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).
