We know that culture is an important part of engaging employees in organizations and driving business performance. For many companies, the ultimate aspiration is to create a culture where every employee can do their best work and to do so we not only need to create a diverse workforce and an inclusive environment but also a culture in which employees feel like they belong. However, effectively shifting culture to this aspirational state with todays diverse workforce, rapidly changing technology and disruptive forces in the business is a bigger challenge than ever. This working group will explore how culture is impacting the workplace, what CAHRS member companies are doing to keep pace in this environment and what strategies we might employ to foster a culture of inclusion and belonging.
Key topics that the session will cover:
The target audience for this session is senior HR leaders (12+ years experience) who are responsible for driving culture change (i.e. Chief Learning Officers, Heads of Organization Effectiveness or Organizational Development, Directors/VP level for HR Business Partners).
In preparation for the meeting, please spend some time reflecting on your own personal experiences in the above areas. During the meeting, well spend time talking about each of the areas as well as others that are identified through the course of our conversations together.
Also, we welcome your input. If there are other specific issues you would like to discuss, please send them prior to the session to Beth Flynn-Ferry or Jo Hagin. We and our host, Bloomberg, look forward to seeing you in New York City on June 28th.
This working group will run from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM with continental breakfast at 8:30, session start at 9:00 am and a working lunch. The session is free of charge to CAHRS partner firms, but participation is limited to no more than twenty-five attendees.
