Session Sponsor: 
2023 Annual
Discover the secrets to developing highly effective manager effectiveness programs, through engaging storytelling and real-world examples.

What does it actually mean to be a strategic HR leader? Although the HR function has evolved significantly from administrative to strategic, too many leaders across the c-suite still don’t get it.

 If you’re looking for ways to prove the business impact of the important, meaningful work your teams are focused on, join us for this session led by 15Five’s Head of Product, Jeff Smith, PhD. He’ll explain how to ensure buy-in from execs and support for your initiatives, especially when budgets are shrinking and spend is under scrutiny.

 Whether you’re a seasoned People Ops leader or just starting out in your career, you’ll learn how to make progress on your strategic initiatives by:

  • Aligning your team’s priorities to the priorities of the business
  • Identifying which HR outcomes matter most in today’s competitive business environment
  • Gathering and organizing the right data to build a compelling narrative that ties people outcomes to business outcomes
  • Building credibility as a business leader across your leadership team
