VP of People, CHRO

BellRing Brands

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

11:00am - 11:45am  Breakout Session

Transformation With Purpose — Data-Led Reorganization and the “What-If” Mindset

VP of Client Engagement

Orgvue

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

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.

Wilbur-Ellis Company

As a talent leader, you can’t be in the middle of every decision, yet you are certainly accountable for the sum of the outcomes. People Analytics and data are helping CHROs connect the individual hiring and retention decision with a more cohesive strategy. Some organizations use the sharing of people data outside HR to move the needle on Retention, DEI, Cost and much more. The best practices are still emerging, and CHROs are becoming more like CFOs when it comes to data.

Join this boardroom as HR leaders discuss ways to:

  • Keep people decisions aligned to strategy (and make sure they are fact-based)
  • Discover the business outcomes that other CHROs are impacting
  • Learn how others are effectively sharing people data outside of HR

After a year and a half of challenges, disruptions, and change, HR leaders are increasingly turning to their organization’s total rewards and recognition programs to build a strong workplace culture that can weather the storms of the Great Resignation, keep their teams connected in a hybrid environment, and foster a greater sense of belonging.

  • Bringing authentic employee experiences to life
  • Creating connected teams in a hybrid environment
