    Session 9: New Expectations for Corporations, the Greater Focus on Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) and the Opportunity for HR

    A seismic shift is underway as Washington gridlock and the lack of trust in government causes the public to increasingly expect corporations to take the lead in solving social problems rather than seek legislative or regulatory relief.  During this session, we will look at some of the trends behind this shift, the changing expectations that corporate leaders should take a public position on social issues, and the growing focus by investors on environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) issues.  Many of these issues implicate HR policies, including diversity, gender and racial pay equity, the impact of technology on employment, employee reskilling and retirement readiness.  We will also address the external and internal implications for companies and the opportunity for the HR function to influence how companies respond to these challenges.

    9:00 a.m. - 9:55 a.m. Eastern

    Session 10: CEO Speaker: The CEO and CHRO Partnership

    Having a true business partnership with the CEO is critical for a CHRO to be successful.  A relationship built on mutual respect, trust, confidentiality, and open and candid conversations, even if they are difficult, needs to be established quickly.  In this session we will hear from a CEO and his CHRO who have successfully built this type of relationship.  We will also hear overall perspectives on HR from the CEO.

    10:00 a.m. - 10:55 a.m. Eastern

    Session 11: Reimagining HR for the Digital Age

    HR 3.0 is starting to emerge. HR was reinvented in the internet age with shared services, global process outsourcing and the HR business partner. With the advent of the cloud, AI, mobile, social media, blockchain, robotic process automation and heightened cyber security threats, HR is evolving into a new operating model.   This session will focus on how these technologies enhance HR's ability to impact the employee experience, how HR delivers to the organization, and HR's capacity and ability to further increase the value it brings to the organization. 

    11:00 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.  Eastern
