Agenda

As organisations continue to transform to meet the tectonic shifts of the past two years, they are realising an urgent need to help their people develop new and different skills, improve their workforce readiness, and create significant changes to how work gets done.

Steve Rycroft, AVP Sales & Account Management at Cornerstone, and a panel of experts including Iwan Roberts, Global HR Operations Director at Entain Group, Elizabeth Fairchild, Director of People & Performance at Hallmark Carehomes and Dominic Holmes, Principal, Value & Strategy EMEA at Cornerstone will explore how organisations need to rethink managing and growing their workforces to thrive in today’s modern work environment.

Join the discussion as we tackle these key topics:

• Driving skills transformation: with skills fundamental to growth and workforce agility, how can we assess skills, map the gap between current and needed skills, and activate these new skills by buying, borrowing, or building?

• Igniting growth in your business and people: forward advancement is at the heart of every organisation – but how do we ensure people and business objectives are aligned on a shared path to success?

• Creating purpose, engagement, and community: how can we counter the great resignation and drive retention by a holistic approach to the whole human that provides purpose and productivity

The McKinsey Women in the Workplace 2021 study shows women are increasingly subject to burnout through the pandemic. Prominent economists have warned that women – and in particular mothers – could find themselves on a slower career track if concerns about care and school disruptions lead to more women choosing virtual working.

However, many organisations are finding ways to mitigate these concerns and boost gender inclusion in the new world of work. Following International Women's Day, with its 2022 theme 'Break the Bias', this panel discussion hosted by Bright Horizon's Head of Thought Leadership, Coaching & Consultancy, Jennifer Liston-Smith will explore and identify successful strategies for gender equity in the hybrid working world, including insights from San Johal, Chief People Officer at EDF Energy, and Siri Nomme, Head of Diversity & Social Purpose, EMEA at Norton Rose Fullbright.

This session will discuss:

• How to level the hybrid experience for all, to ensure gender inclusion

• Understand what leading employers are doing to support family life and empower parents of all genders to participate fully at work

• Other forms of inclusion in the workplace and key ways to drive inclusivity

As more companies from around the world have come to see the value and power of appreciation, they’ve put in place recognition programs. But with 65% of employees saying they don’t feel appreciated and 87% saying their recognition program is “stale, outdated, or used as disguised compensation,” clearly something’s not working.

This book calls for change for anyone who is interested in creating a culture of appreciation through their recognition strategies and programs, one that doesn’t focus on the fancy trophy, expensive gifts or money, but on a feeling.

Globally, 61% of employees are a flight risk, with 38% open to the right opportunity and 23% actively looking. But keeping your best employees is solvable if you’re willing to change the way you think about human capital management. Good compensation, flexibility, and opportunities for growth are critical but they aren’t enough to retain people long-term.

Ceridian’s 2022 Pulse of Talent survey data, collected from more than 6,800 workers from around the globe, shows that a complex set of drivers influences employee career decisions. This is a big opportunity for UK employers, if they are willing to change the way they think about attracting and retaining employees.

During this panel discussion, we will explore:

• Strategies to improve long-term employee retention

• Tactics to help you win the war for talent

• How to optimise your employee experience and use technology to help along the way

During this panel discussion, we will explore:

• The role of coaching in leadership development

No one could’ve predicted how the last two years would play out. How our physical, mental and social wellbeing could be challenged so significantly for so long. How, virtually overnight, our lives, and workplaces, could change forever.

After 2020’s massive shakeup, and 2021’s relentless uncertainty, 2022 is set to be the year of action. The year organisations embrace the cultural change needed to empower employees not just to weather the storm but to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Join Unmind and a panel of HR professionals to discuss the key trends that will dominate workplace mental health in 2022.

It’s simple: People analytics turns talent into trustworthy insight. Moreover, it’s way beyond simply knowing job titles, genders, ethnic backgrounds, and salaries.

To get to the heart of it, people analytics is a deep dive into your people, what drives them, and how your processes can take them where they want to go.

During this panel discussion, we will discuss:

• What people analytics is and why its important?

• Best practice on how to gather gather people data and insights and make true meaning out of them

How do you seriously improve diversity hiring? That’s a question nearly every organisation – and every candidate – wants to be answered. Less biased, fair hiring is an important issue in today’s social and business climates, and most talent professionals believe diversity will be very important to the future of recruiting.

Still, few companies take a data-driven approach to diversity hiring. Diversity, equality of opportunity, and inclusion (DEI) training programs and partnerships that broaden the funnel are all important DEI strategies, but true diversity hiring transformation results from predictive analytics.

Join us for a session dedicated to seriously accelerating measurable change in diversity hiring through the power of predictive analytics.

What we will talk about:

• How to implement a data-driven approach to hiring that leverages validated, predictive tools and the deepest, broadest talent intelligence available for hiring

• Proven ways to reduce cognitive bias effectively across a larger portion of your hiring process, from screening to assessments to interviews

• How to create candidate-first experiences by intentionally increasing fairness and transparency, and elevating candidates’ trust in your hiring process
