Anna Krasniewska, Group Vice President, Gartner
Brent Cassell, VP, Advisory, Gartner
Over the past three years, organizations showed remarkable innovation and responsiveness. HR led the way in transforming work models, embracing workforce flexibility and boosting accountability for employee well-being and equity. This took place out of necessity — extreme disruption forced a level of creativity and experimentation that seemed too risky before. The results expanded the boundaries of what leaders previously thought their people, systems and technologies were capable of achieving.
The opening keynote will explore how HR leaders can continue to boldly encourage remarkable change and innovation without a backdrop of extreme disruption driving extreme behavioral change.

Anna Krasniewska, Group Vice President, Gartner
Join us for a seated, networking lunch followed by a guest presentation by Melissa Stockwell, exclusive to CHRO Circle attendees.
An aspiring gymnast in childhood, Melissa dreamed of someday representing Team USA at the Olympics Games. As college approached, her patriotic dreams shifted to representing her country as a member of the U.S. Army. Upon graduating, she was deployed to Iraq, where a roadside bomb resulted in her losing a limb. What followed was a remarkable story of resilience and perseverance, and of the indominable spirit of a woman who chose not only to survive, but to thrive.
Now a Paralympic medallist, a World Champion, a World Record Holder and an Ironman, Melissa’s keynote “The Power of Choice” is an emotionally commanding presentation that will both redefine your perception of disability and inspire you to rethink your own limits.

Despite overwhelming evidence of the superiority of human-centric models that provide employees with autonomy over where and how they work, many CHROs are struggling to convince their CEOs to embrace them, with an increasing number pushing for mandated office returns. These CEOs risk stalling or even winding back progress on the issues being prioritized by their boards (digital transformation, ESG, DEI) and limiting their ability to attract and retain the talent needed to grow. This session will explore alternative ways to influence your CEO's position on office mandates.

Shankar Vedantam, Creator & Host of Hidden Brain, Journalist, and Author, Hidden Brain Media
Humans owe their success on the planet to one skill above all others: No, it’s not intelligence (although that helps.) It’s our ability to adapt. Uniquely, humans have learned to thrive at altitude, in frozen wastelands, even underwater and in outer space. So why is it so hard to get your organization to adapt to a new IT system? Or to pivot to a new business opportunity? Why do institutions ranging from schools to Fortune 500 companies find that as they get big, they also get stuck doing things the same old way? In this presentation, Shankar Vedantam explains how the “hidden brain” shapes our capacity for change, and how to overcome common mistakes leaders and managers make as they implement their vision.

While organizational culture is not the exclusive domain of HR, CHROs and other HR leaders have been increasingly tasked with navigating the cultural transformations brought about by the business disruptions and societal pressure of the past few years.

What strategies are most effective for catalyzing and maintaining necessary cultural transformation? How can cultural change be leveraged to increase performance, reduce employee burnout, and build organizational resilience? How do CHROs ensure that their cultural strategy is not merely reactive, but proactively anticipates and responds to employee and business demands before they reach a point of crisis?

Employee surveillance has exploded since the beginning of the pandemic with sales of employee monitoring software up 80%. While HR leaders grapple with this new technology, they often forget that employees are also monitoring them. The proliferation of camera phones and wearable technology means that employees now collect enormous amounts of data on their lived experience at work. At the same time, new pay transparency laws and social media platforms make it increasingly easy for employees to share and amplify their concerns. This session will outline the limitations and risks of employee surveillance and provide HR leaders with a framework to enhance their employment brand, minimize reputational damage and improve employee data collection by embracing radical transparency and mutual data sharing.

Swagatam Basu, Sr Director, Quantitative Analytics and, Gartner
It’s never been easy to be a manager but mounting business pressures and shifting employee expectations in the past three years have made this hard job even harder. In fact, the average manager now believes that they would need to reduce their overall responsibilities by one third to do their jobs successfully. Otherwise, those managers will be at a higher risk of underperformance, and, when managers underperform, they will have a significantly negative impact on the talent outcomes (e.g., engagement, intent to stay) of their teams. This session will help Talent Management and L&D leaders spot the “early warning indicators” that can identify the managers most at risk and how to take corrective action to enable managers to lead high-performing teams in future.

HR Leaders are thinking bigger and bolder about the scope and scale of talent management solutions but often struggle to find ways to design solutions around the right root causes.

Join this session to learn how to apply a foundational “Skill, Will, Hill” framework to understand the new talent landscape and determine whether a performance challenge or unmet opportunity is driven by a skills gap, motivation gap or work friction.

Humans owe their success on the planet to one skill above all others: No, it’s not intelligence (although that helps.) It’s our ability to adapt. Uniquely, humans have learned to thrive at altitude, in frozen wastelands, even underwater and in outer space. So why is it so hard to get your organization to adapt to a new IT system? Or to pivot to a new business opportunity? Why do institutions ranging from schools to Fortune 500 companies find that as they get big, they also get stuck doing things the same old way? In this presentation, Shankar Vedantam explains how the “hidden brain” shapes our capacity for change, and how to overcome common mistakes leaders and managers make as they implement their vision.

Organizations are constantly looking for new ways to attract and retain hourly workers in a highly competitive environment. As a means of differentiating their offerings, total rewards leaders often wonder about flexible earned-wage access - a system that allows employees access to their wages on the same day they work a shift. While such systems have become a common service offering for payroll providers, total rewards leaders often question the potential impacts of such a system and struggle to adapt pay roll practices.

Over the past three years, organizations showed remarkable innovation and responsiveness. HR led the way in transforming work models, embracing workforce flexibility and boosting accountability for employee well-being and equity. This took place out of necessity — extreme disruption forced a level of creativity and experimentation that seemed too risky before. The results expanded the boundaries of what leaders previously thought their people, systems and technologies were capable of achieving.
The opening keynote will explore how HR leaders can continue to boldly encourage remarkable change and innovation without a backdrop of extreme disruption driving extreme behavioral change.

Humans owe their success on the planet to one skill above all others: No, it’s not intelligence (although that helps.) It’s our ability to adapt. Uniquely, humans have learned to thrive at altitude, in frozen wastelands, even underwater and in outer space. So why is it so hard to get your organization to adapt to a new IT system? Or to pivot to a new business opportunity? Why do institutions ranging from schools to Fortune 500 companies find that as they get big, they also get stuck doing things the same old way? In this presentation, Shankar Vedantam explains how the “hidden brain” shapes our capacity for change, and how to overcome common mistakes leaders and managers make as they implement their vision.
