SPRING 2018 KEY THEMES & TOPICS

152017 TOP-RATED SESSIONS

HR Analytics from Scratch: 8 Lessions in the First Year David Harcourt, Manager of Employee Insights, YUM!BRANDS

Yum Brands is one of the world’s largest restaurant companies with three global, iconic brands: KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. As a business that is heavily influenced by consumer sentiment, we have a well-established consumer insights function. In 2014, the human resources leadership decided to create an employee insights function to bring a similar data-driven approach to people decisions. To that end, they hired David Harcourt, a former actuary and HR consultant, to answer the big questions they faced. In this presentation, Harcourt will share the tips, techniques and lessons learned during the first year of this endeavor. Basically, everything he wish he’d known when he started!

The “Change” Mindset from Transactional to Transformantional: A Case Study for HR ProfessionalsDeRetta Cole, Chief HR Officer, YMCA OF METRO ATLANTA

The focus of this presentation is to provide examples of how, as an HR Executive, you forge the change of the organization to a transformational shift. In many cases, HR Executives are forced with the day to day transactional occurrences and are not granted the opportunities to focus on strategy for transformation. During this presentation, the how, tools, stakeholders and structure will be discussed in how your move from transactional to transformational. Real life examples will be provided and discussed during the interactive session.

SOLVE THESE 5 TEAM CHALLENGES AND TRANSFORM YOUR BUSINESS Lyle Wells, National Director of Leadership Processes, FLIPPEN GROUP

We are all in the people business, and we know that in every industry people are our business. We also know that when people work together there is an exponential impact on the mission and production of the organization. Identifying talent is often the easiest part of our job, connecting and maximizing that talent is the key. In this session we will look at the 5 most significant team challenges and share ways to engage these issues and solve them to create dynamic teams and extraordinary outcomes.

HARNESSING THE POWER OF INCLUSION TO IMPROVE PERFOR-MANCE, PRODUCTIVITY, INNOVATION AND GROWTHAlan Nevel, VP, Global Diversty & Inclusion, THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC

The dialogue on diversity and inclusion must change. Many companies are at a point where they now “look” diverse; however, they have failed to capture any quantifiable business benefit. Simply put, diversity is meaningless if the culture within an organization does not fully embrace and leverage the unique skills, capabilities and experiences of its employees. The conversation needs to shift to being one about “True Inclusion”.

HR Analytics and Its Impact on the Business Jason Desentz, CHRO, HORIZON GLOBAL CORPORATION

One-on-One Research Meetings

The targeted research appointments are perceived as one of the most valuable elements of the program by attendees. It’s a genuine win - win for both exhibitors and delegates. Please be aware that if you have no interest in researching solutions, this is not a relevant event for you.

This portion of the event reflects around 25% of your time at the conference. The information you provide during registration ensures that we can schedule appointments for you with solution providers that meet your unique needs. We will create a customized appointment schedule for you prior to the event to connect you with only the solutions and services that you have expressed interest in researching, or with specific suppliers you request to meet. This process is designed to put you in touch with vendors that may be of value to your organization. You will have the chance to review, amend and approve your schedule prior to the event.

At the event, you’ll connect with a senior-level executive who has taken time to prepare pertinent information relevant to your company and areas of interest. You’ll have a relaxed informal discussion to understand if their solution is truly aligned to your unique needs. It is without doubt the most time efficient medium to research and understand what cutting edge technology is potentially available to help optimize your operations.

“It’s always interesting to hear how other organizations approach the challenges we face. CONNECT is an opportunity to increase your knowledge and see what

tools are out there – new ideas leading to new solutions. Other senior level Executives trying to keep up with digitalization should consider attending – a

great platform to see what’s out there!”

Colin BeynonVice President of Human Resources

DHL Express

“Company size does not matter, there is so much relevant content…and you can easily customize your schedule. Best part is being able to see the latest and greatest technology in the space.”
