BUILDING A CULTURE FOR WORKERS AND COMPANIES TO THRIVE IN TIMES OF CHANGE



In an era of digital transformation and rising employee expectations, companies
will need to become even more attuned to the needs and aspirations of workers to
keep them engaged and satisfied on their career paths. And in an environment of
hybrid work and strained profits, employers will have to focus on making work
both efficient and sustainable. How can companies do more with less, while
maintaining employee well-being? What are the next frontiers in talent
acquisition, employee benefits, learning and development, and diversity, equity,
inclusion and belonging?

From Day One is a Recertification Provider for SHRM and HRCI. This session is
eligible for 4 credits from both organizations. The Activity IDs will be sent to
attendees after the conclusion of the session.

THEMES


BOOSTING PRODUCTIVITY IN A CHANGING WORKPLACE–AND WORKFORCE



Who does the work and how they do it is constantly evolving. HR professionals
can lead the way in exploring the kinds of resources, tools, and training
workers need to produce the levels of output that their companies need to stay
competitive. How can HR work with managers to help set sustainable goals and
measure performance? How can managers be trained to watch for signs of worker
stress, like burnout and cognitive overload?




A SKILLS-BASED APPROACH TO HIRING: HOW IT WORKS IN PRACTICE



In the midst of new technology and organizational needs, employers need to align
their workforce with the need for rapidly changing skills. One way to achieve
this is by adopting a skills-based approach in talent acquisition efforts,
replacing the traditional system focused on credentials like a four-year college
degree. What does a skills architecture look like and how can HR leaders build
one to suit their company’s future needs? How are leaders determining which
skills to develop internally and which to seek out externally? What are the best
approaches to upskilling and reskilling in today’s dynamic landscape?




MANAGER EFFECTIVENESS: DEFINING IT, MEASURING IT, AND IMPROVING IT



Managers are a company’s connective tissue, especially in a hybrid workplace.
When they perform well, they hold all the parts together, enabling an efficient,
collaborative, and healthy workplace. How can companies provide clarity about
what their managers can do to be more successful? What are the most important
behavioral markers for effective managers, like treating employees with respect
and removing obstacles to getting things done? What innovative ways have
companies discovered to support their managers, especially in times of
uncertainty or crisis?




DOES YOUR COMPANY GENUINELY CARE ABOUT WELL-BEING? HOW TO SHOW IT 



Just one in three women in the workforce feels their employer is actually
upholding its well-being commitments, according to recent research, Inspiring
the phrase “well-being washing” to describe these superficial efforts. With the
growing recognition of holistic well-being that encompasses facets like
financial stability and mental and physical wellness, how can organizations
translate their promises into meaningful action? What are the most innovative
and inclusive approaches to holistic well-being?




MAKING EMPLOYEE BENEFITS EQUITABLE FOR ALL IN AN INCREASINGLY DIVERSE WORKFORCE



When benefits are delivered in a traditional wayas one-size-fits-all, they tend
to favor the majority and the typical. But for today’'s more diverse workforce,
that brings inequities that show up in the kinds of benefits offered, how
they’re communicated to employees, and how they’re delivered. What can employers
do to find and fix these inequities? What are the most comprehensive benefits
being offered today?




HOW HR CAN TAKE THE LEAD IN USING AI FOR A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE



Many HR leaders are wary of embracing AI, yet those who take an innovative
approach will create an advantage for their companies. Forward-looking HR
leaders are already using generative AI in talent acquisition, people analytics,
L&D, and more. What are the opportunities and risks emerging in AI? What are the
workforce implications and new skills required? How can AI improve the employee
experience by eliminating drudge work?




CREATING OPPORTUNITY WITHIN: HOW EMPLOYERS ARE BOOSTING INTERNAL MOBILITY 



To retain valued workers and attract top talent, more companies are focusing on
providing both upskilling and reskilling opportunities to their workers to help
prepare them to move into new roles across the organization. What are the
benefits to the company of improving internal mobility? How can employers
coordinate these efforts by their executive teams and leaders in HR and talent
acquisition? Why will better internal mobility align with efforts toward greater
diversity, equity, and inclusion?




BUILDING UPON WORKPLACE CULTURE THROUGH RECOGNITION



When employees feel recognized, a workplace culture that supports productivity,
loyalty, and overall organizational success is built. How can leaders
effectively implement programs that go beyond financial incentives to ensure
employees feel valued and appreciated? What are some innovative approaches to
boost employee engagement, especially in remote or hybrid work environments, and
how can leaders measure the effectiveness of these initiatives?




DEI WILL ENDURE, BUT CORPORATE ADVOCATES WILL NEED TO REFRAME THEIR APPROACH



With initiatives toward diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) enduring a
backlash on several fronts, advocates would be well-advised to rethink their
goals, strategies, and messaging. If there’s still a strong business and moral
case for DEI, what approaches will work better in the current climate of culture
wars, corporate austerity, and legal challenges? In an increasingly diverse
country, how can inclusiveness be reframed so that fewer workers feel threatened
by it?
