The Shift to People-Centered Organizations: How the War for Talent Is Changing How We Lead
Status message
A session in this conference ends more than 10 days after the conference! Some sessions may not appear properly in My Session Planner.C-Suite leaders are being held to a higher strategic priority but are they ready? As both candidate and employee needs and expectations shift, leaders must also shift how they show up, lead and influence their people and stakeholders. This means that, in order to realize mission success, today’s social impact leaders must have the ability to influence all areas of their organization and it begins with a visionary, values-led CEO.
Learning Objectives:
- Why C-suite leaders, internal and external, are ambassadors of the organization and must lean in on values-centered behavior as a way of attracting and retaining top talent.
- Why mentoring and coaching individuals across the organization on the importance of owning the employee experience from onboarding to offboarding, is essential for driving mission impact.
- How being the chief people and culture officer in a people-centered, values-led organization can directly impact your talent management practices for the good.
In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
