HR for HR Virtual Working Group
Wednesday, October 27, 2021 - 2:00-3:30pm (ET)

The Human Resources function has taken on a central leadership role as companies deal with COVID-19.  As many organizations begin to return some employees to the office and redesign work in the hybrid world, HR’s importance is not diminishing.  New work spaces, ways of working, career development, flexibility policies, etc. will be high on the list of priorities.  This brings new opportunities and challenges to the HR function.

CAHRS Executive Director Beth Flynn-Ferry will lead a discussion about the role of HR for HR within the post-pandemic world. Given these new challenges, some of the questions we will address about how HR for HR is supporting the HR function include:

•    What new capabilities and training are needed?
•    What new tools and technologies are companies implementing?
•    How are companies supporting mental health and wellness for your HR team?
•    What are the implications of a hybrid world on HR career development?
•    How is your HR operating model evolving?

Our virtual working groups are kept small (15-25 participants) to allow for rich discussion and best practice sharing.  Given the limited size of each session, we ask that you only register for a session if you will be able to attend for the duration.  Prior to the session, attendees should give some thought to the questions included in the description, so they are prepared to share with the group.  We also strongly prefer that participants be on camera during the session to allow for more engaging interaction.  If for some reason after you sign up for the working group, something comes up last minute (especially while many of us are working from home), it would be great to get even a last minute e-mail advising us that you cannot attend as we sometimes have a waiting list.
