Agenda

As organisations increasingly compete for top talent, it's crucial to adopt effective strategies for attracting and retaining the best employees. Good compensation, flexibility, and opportunities for growth are critical but they aren’t enough to retain people long-term.

If you want to combat this issue for the long-term, you need to start rethinking the traditional career experience and re-evaluate how you approach internal recruitment and career pathing to align with your employees’ changed views of work.

This virtual, interactive session, featuring expert speakers will provide insights into the latest trends and innovative approaches for finding and keeping the best talent.

We will explore:

• Key areas employers should focus on today for long-term employee retention

• How to embed value everywhere in your employee experience and use technology to help along the way

• How to cultivate a leadership culture that inspires and motivates employees

Keeping employees engaged and productive has never been more important. Whether they are in the workplace or remote, engaging experiences helps keep your employees loyal, motivated and serve your customers better.

However, modern business can’t rely on a single HR system and employees often must wrestle with multiple to achieve their goals, impacting both productivity and happiness. What’s needed is a digital experience layer bringing everything together in a single platform, that optimises current tech investments and simplifies how work gets done.

Join this interactive, virtual session to hear from experts and leading organisations as they share insights and learnings on unifying their digital employee experience.

In this session, you will learn:

• The business need to unify your digital experience

• How this can be made possible

• The tangible outcomes that can be achieved

360 feedback has long been a popular tool for employee development, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that it has some significant limitations. From the need for a facilitator to the anonymity of feedback, there are many reasons why 360 feedback is starting to feel outdated.

But what if there was a better way to gather feedback and support employee development? Clear Review’s new feature, Feedback Circles, is revolutionising the market by empowering employees to take control of their own development.

In this session we’ll explore the limitations of 360 feedback and how Feedback Circles is helping further support the culture of continuous feedback.

Whether you’re an HR professional looking to move to continuous performance management, or a manager interested in creating a culture of feedback and growth, this session is for you!

ChatGPT has already proven its ability to ace the bar exam and an MBA exam in less than three months – what does this mean for your interview and hiring process?

With today’s candidates applying for roles with ChatGPT-tailored resumes and CVs, hiring teams don’t have the data they need to identify the best-fit hires against AI-generated cover letters.

• How – and to what extent – candidates could use ChatGPT in a typical interview process
• The reward and risks of leveraging AI in a modern, data-driven hiring process
• What companies can do today to create an effective, future-focused hiring process with generative AI and beyond

From pre-screening to answering common interview questions, Matt and Tom will put ChatGPT to the test to see if it could get hired.

The sense that workers want – and need – a lot from their job is stronger than ever. They require remuneration that keeps pace with rising living costs as well as making them feel valued for their efforts. They need work to satisfy them personally and professionally, giving them the flexibility that so many people have come to expect in recent years. And they want a supportive company culture that strives for fairness and inclusivity.

During this virtual session, Kieran Howells, Head of Content at HR Grapevine will be joined by ADP’s Senior HR Director, Annabel Jones to discuss the findings from the recent People at Work 2023 study and explore the following two key areas:

The importance and impact of flexibility:
60% of workers with ‘hybrid’ working arrangements are the most satisfied with the flexibility they have and 50% of employees working solely on-premises are least happy.

• How can organisations overcome the challenges of meeting the flexibility needs of workers who have no choice but to come into the office?

A caring workplace culture:
68% of workers feel they can be open about their physical health and 64% about their mental health at work, and 64% agree they’re supported by their managers.

• What kind of initiatives can organisations promote when it comes to supporting positive mental and physical health?

By leveraging cloud technology, businesses can streamline processes, automate tasks, and gain valuable insights from their HR and payroll data. 

During this fireside chat, Dominic Berner of Jigsaw Cloud explores the reality of moving SMBs’ HR and Payroll to the cloud and removing the stigma around the assumptions that it is only large organisations that are able to do this.
