The HR Operating Model: COVID-19 Style
Virtual Working Group
September 23 - 2:00-3:30pm (EST)
A note on virtual working groups: Sessions will be 90 minutes in length and are limited to 15 participants per session, allowing only one company member per topic. If we have two sessions on the same topic the same applies, allowing only one company member for both sessions. The limitation is to ensure that all participants have adequate time to share thoughts and ask questions. The smaller number will simulate an actual working group and make it more conducive for participants to see and interact with one another. In most cases, we will also do a CAHRScast on the same topic so all partners can benefit from the learning.)
The most prevalent HR operating model has been in place for many years, using the same framework of HR shared services, centers of excellence and strategic HR business partnering. During the COVID-19 pandemic, companies’ approaches to their businesses and workforces has changed, necessitating HR to modify its approach and practices as well. To help partner companies think through these challenges and to learn from one another, we will host several small, virtual CAHRS working group sessions on what is changing with the model, particularly as a result of the myriad changes imposed by COVID-19. Laura Cococcia, Head of HR Strategy & Program Management at GE, will share some early points of view on this and CAHRS Executive Director Beth Flynn-Ferry will facilitate this conversation on a range of questions including:
• What HR practices will transform because of these learnings?
• What skills or capabilities are rising to the forefront as a result?
