The skills and capabilities that employees need to succeed are changing rapidly. In this track, HR executives discovered the most effective and scalable strategies to target development priorities, build new skills and equip employees at all levels of the organization for the future.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Fast-changing skills, the rise of hybrid working, and the emergence of new learning technologies have permanently changed Learning and Development (L&D) in most organizations.

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.

L&D is being called on to create strategies to develop Human Leaders who can lead more effectively in our fragmented work environment. They face an uphill battle, however, as data shows most organizations continue to hire for outdated leadership skills and profiles.

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.

Russ McCall, Director, Advisory, Gartner
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?

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.

For frontline workers, there is a future that includes more location flexibility, potentially, and definitely more time flexibility. But flexibility is not the entirety of the future of work. This session will look at the impact of technology (especially AR and VR), new employment models, evolving business models and other substantial shifts in how frontline work is done, who does frontline work, and even what is considered frontline work. We will look across industries and segments, including healthcare, retail, manufacturing, transportation, warehousing and customer service.

In a world where there is constant change, is the notion of traditional strategic workforce planning still a realistic one?

Join this session to consider how to rethink workforce planning and create a more accessible approach for you to take action today.

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. And this "ask" is even harder now. In a high turnover, hybrid world, how do we identify, develop and manage talent in a fast, flexible way to meet the changing needs of both the organization and employees? Join this session to explore and take-away succession strategies fit for a fragmented world.

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. Join this peer-to-peer discussion lightly facilitated by a Gartner expert to explore what are the other challenges and opportunities will a hybrid environment present for succession management and planning?

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.

Employee Experience (EX) has become a critical business outcome for technology investments, but technology options and decisions are not "one-size-fits-all". HR leaders should prioritize their EX-related technology decision making by assessing key EX attributes of their own organization and by connecting on these with IT and business leaders. In this session, we will present Gartner's EX-Ready model that can amplify these activities.
