2020 RETREAT Series – HR Leadership: Creating Future-Ready Organizations (Virtual)
September – December 2020 – Over the past several months, HR has been challenged with COVID-19, social justice issues, and dealing with multiple problems relating to business survival. During these chaotic times, human resources leaders have been responsible for a magnitude of outcomes including operational efficiencies, virtual workplaces, employee well-being, digital technology, and major innovations on how work is now being performed. Equally important to navigating the current day to day issues, is evaluating how work will be reinvented for the future based on today’s disruptions. What innovations need to be created to ensure success in the future? How do we avoid slipping back into the “old” way of doing things? What has worked well and what needs to be transformed going forward?
Since our founding 34 years ago, HARRT at UCLA has hosted a retreat for our Senior Executive Members every fall where we would discuss strategic issues and future innovations. Since we can’t meet in person this year, we have planned a virtual retreat that is designed to explore the disrupted workplace and reimagine the future of work. Additionally, this virtual event will provide members with several opportunities to network with HARRT peers, share ideas, and create solutions for these critical topics.
The theme of our virtual retreat is HR Resilience: Creating a Future-Ready Organization. The topics for the sessions are Transformative Leadership, Cultural Adaptability, Distributed Workforces, Agile Transformation, and the Trust Paradigm. These topics are designed to address today’s immediate challenges as well as go-forward strategies to implement in your future-ready organization. These virtual round tables will contain two parts; Part 1 is a general session with Q&A presented by a subject matter expert that will be immediately followed by Part 2, an exclusive HARRT Executive Member-only workshop to discuss practical, innovative, relevant, and actionable initiatives.
