The rarefication of in-person interactions. The reimagining of office spaces. The unestablished etiquette of digital meetings. The confusing interplay of the virtual and home environments. Making room for the individual whilst respecting the need for collective cohesion. All of these characteristics of our new team experience raise one fundamentally simple but essential question for business leaders: what does good collaboration look like in this new world? In a world where fragmentation is the recurrent soundtrack, team rhythms become essential to producing attractive sound.

Conventional wisdom suggests that company culture changes from the top down, fitting employees into a larger, cohesive culture determined by leadership. However, in today’s more fragmented workforce, culture is more individualized, with microcultures formed around teams and affinity groups taking a more prominent role. What are the implications of an increasingly segmented culture? How can CHROs maintain the benefits of a cohesive cultural narrative with an approach that is sensitive to individual needs and interests? Join the CHRO Global Leadership Board to discuss these shifts in culture strategy and how they could benefit the workforce of the future.

Attend this session to understand and act on HR’s expanding role in engaging employees and leaders in both enterprise environmental and social sustainability initiatives. Strategies to meet enterprise net zero commitments include both top-down and bottom-up tactics. Consequential leader accountability is a necessary top-down approach that engages leaders to co-create their goals in a way that catapults the enterprise to more quickly meet environmental outcomes; and as the owner of corporate culture, HR needs to utilize strategies to embed a culture of sustainability into employee day-to-day activities.

Society is polarizing, people live in filter bubbles, and business is suffering as a result. The social fracture can be witnessed all around us. The voice of society is getting louder. HR leaders know that the employee base and the voice of employee mirror the larger societal sentiment.Executive Leaders are pressued by society to speak out on a wide range of social topics. In this presentation, we'll explore four provocative scenarios on how society could turn, and what HR leaders must do to adapt to this situation, and succeed in the process.

Making tangible progress towards DEI goals continues to be a top priority for today’s organizations. Diverse employees are in high demand, forcing organizations to make difficult tradeoffs between long-term DEI objectives and immediate staffing crises. Hybrid work can limit employees’ visibility for new talent opportunities, and women and people of color are disproportionately affected. How are CHROs responding to these and other challenges to build a truly diverse and equitable workforce? Join the CHRO Global Leadership Board to develop strategies for making meaningful progress on DEI goals and initiatives in an environment of major disruption.

Recent turnover figures have distracted from the fact that turnover rates have been steadily rising for many years. In this session, we will look at a “silent majority” of workers, who, while not leaving now, still feel limited commitment to the organization and are ready to leave if opportunities come to them – particularly due to the now lower “switching” costs that hybrid work allows.
Thursday, 15 September, 2022 / 04:00 PM - 04:45 PM BST
Christopher Long, VP, Advisory, Gartner
While HR leaders are expected to help the business define a successful way forward, they recognize that their own strategies and operating models reach their limits, being too unresponsive and ineffective. 86% of HR functions have restructured in the past two years, are currently restructuring, or plan to in the next two years. HR leaders need to continue to think about ways to adapt and evolve their own functional strategy, operating model and talent. In this Ask the Expert session, discuss Gartner’s 4 Key Components of HR Transformation that can help you share your strategic value to the business.

Employees are carefully watching their organizations’ responses to political and social issues more than ever. At the same time, increased polarization threatens organizational culture and can divide employees from each other. Corporate social responsibility (CSR), environmental, social, and governance (ESG), and organization-wide responses to social issues are no longer optional. Join the CHRO Global Leadership Board to discuss the following questions: How is the role of the CHRO in shaping their organizations’ ESG strategies changing? How should we approach making statements on these issues when there is risk of alienating employees with conflicting views?

High turnover, the war for talent, and hybrid work environments require complex strategic workforce planning. As organizations engage more non-traditional workforces and leverage disruptive strategies to attract talent, the future of talent strategy can be difficult to define and predict.

Career opportunities are a key attraction and retention driver, but in hybrid work settings, employees neither trust opportunities will be fair, nor do they have as much visibility of potential internal moves. Employers must think differently about the careers they can offer, and set up a different partnership with employees to both remove the barriers, and get the benefits, from internal mobility.
Thursday, 15 September, 2022 / 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM BST

Skills data is being promoted as the currency behind many talent processes. Emerging AI capabilities make this easier, but also lead to a proliferation of nonstandardized skills and competency data across multiple systems.

Managing employee performance was difficult when managers were co-located with their teams and it has only become more so in the past two years. Because managers have less visibility into employee work patterns in the hybrid environment, it is harder for them to provide the guidance and feedback that their employees need to learn and grow. In this session, we'll explore a range of new techniques -- from encouraging feedback seeking behaviors to creating more psychologically safe team climates -- to give managers the tools they need to succeed.

64% of leaders believe that in-office employees are higher performers, but Gartner research indicates that remote employees are 1.7x more likely to be high performers than their onsite peers. While many organizations seek to close this gap by boosting awareness, perhaps through unconscious bias training, this has no significant impact on bias in performance management. Join this highly interactive session where you can ask a Gartner expert your most pressing questions for redesigning performance management processes (from goal setting to calibration) to address the pervasive risk of unchecked biases.

A hybrid work environment presents both new challenges and new opportunities for succession planning and management processes. While a digital-first environment may enable increased connectivity between HR and potential successors across the organization, this business environment can also enable biases such as proximity bias, which favor the leaders who are more readily “visible”, whether that’s in the office or on-camera. This could adversely affect women leaders, who are more likely to take advantage of flexible work options due to caretaking and other responsibilities that disproportionately fall on women. What other challenges and opportunities will a hybrid environment present for succession management and planning?

Organizations have always had a big ask of talent and succession planning to identify, develop and retain diverse high potential talent, for now and for the future, to build and deliver leadership bench strength and do this all in a sustainable way.

Many companies have made strides over the last few years building comprehensive pillars of support and adding trendy apps and programs. However, this approach is insufficient. Going forward, organizations need to shift toward a longer-term preventative approach to wellbeing and build governance models that support not just individual outcomes, but organizational outcomes. Join this session with a Gartner expert to learn about the different levels of wellbeing maturity – from program design, to communication, preventative tactics, measurement, and management.
