Southern California CHRO Executive Summit

Join Southern California CHRO Governing Body members for an evening of refreshments, networking and an opportunity to give back! In partnership with LA-based nonprofit Ready to Succeed, you will have the opportunity to build holiday kits for local foster students. Ready to Succeed helps ambitious and motivated foster youth by ensuring they have the resources, relationships, and opportunities needed to succeed in college and in all facets of life, including post-grad job placement. 

Front offices should reflect the rich culture within their communities, but unconscious biases in the succession management process can derail CHRO’s efforts to improve diversity in leadership. 

Join this panel session to learn how to:

• Avoid conformity risks and build diverse organizational leadership pipelines both internally and externally
• Utilize data and metrics to measure impact and accountability of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives
• Create ways to communicate and commemorate DEI growth within an organization

With fewer opportunities for spontaneous socialization and organic connection, employees are feeling increasingly isolated, company culture at numerous organizations has eroded significantly, and sense of belonging has been impacted. Why do work relationships matter? Strong cultures, effective collaboration, and meaningful levels of belonging all rely on trustworthy relationships. In today’s world of work, how can HR facilitate the strengthening of culture, deepen a sense of belonging, reinforce a people-first mentality, and build trust through meaningful relationships?

Join this session to learn more about:

• The past, present and future of culture, connection and belonging—and why you should care
• The precise pains and pleasures (and performance implications) of the employee journey throughout the last three years
• What to do—and what not to do—to create a thriving culture in 2023 and beyond

To build an agile workforce, companies must attract and retain the right talent, engage high levels of performance, and support employee development and adaptability. This comes from actively managing three different aspects of employee experience — purpose, confidence and belonging.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Purpose — how much do jobs provide employees with the things they want from work?
• Confidence — how hard is it for employees to get things done within the organization?
• Belonging — how much do employees like the people they work with and how they work together?

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).

Expectations for the CHRO’s use of people analytics have increased exponentially. CEOs, CFOs and investors today demand data-driven insights and predictable talent outcomes guided by HR. How do these expectations affect your approach as CHRO? What should you do with people analytics?

In this session, CHRO Paul Rubenstein provides case studies and practical examples around:

• Improving transparency and fairness of people decisions
• Blending financial, productivity and people data
• Changing the CHRO’s rhythm of data use to impact attrition and diversity

Increased social awareness and demand for workplace transparency have made pay equity more than just a standard compliance issue for many businesses today. In addition to avoiding potential litigation, forward-thinking employers who implement fair pay policies may be able to improve their organization’s reputation, keep employees engaged and attract new talent.

Join this session to learn:

• Practical strategies for implementing fair pay policies
• Leveraging data and internal partnerships to identify and close gaps
• Staying ahead of local, state, national and international pay equity regulations

While expectations of future leaders evolve and grow in complexity, the most effective leaders today embrace a humanized approach. As CHROs identify and develop leaders within their organizations, how can you foster those employees' softer skills and create a better employee experience?

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Establishing dynamic leadership buy-in and relevancy
• Emphasizing the importance of new leadership styles
• Recognizing development pathways that incorporate individualistic values

Many investors (and a growing population of Millennial/Gen-Z workers) are calling for increased organizational efforts around environmental sustainability, corporate responsibility and DEI strategy. The majority of S&P 500 organizations issue comprehensive ESG reports annually, but how can HR leaders step up to lead these new initiatives and craft the story behind them?

In this session, CHROs will discuss:

• Establishing ESG to support talent mobility and engagement
• ESG as an avenue for recruitment and retention
• Identifying growth opportunities to drive organization outcomes
