The magnitude of data about employees and the workplace has made it both easier as well as more difficult to make talent-related decisions.

In this session, we’ll talk with people analytics experts and HR Leaders about how they leverage data to foster organizational health and increase productivity. We’ll cover topics such as: 

• The promise of predictive analytics for people-related decisions and organizational change.
• Latest methods in using AI to measure and enhance employee satisfaction, productivity, and organizational health.
• Developing proactive strategies for talent retention and employee development.

The last 5 years have brought tremendous change to the business world and the employee experience. First there was COVID, then the AI explosion, coupled with inflation, supply chain challenges, remote and hybrid work challenges, and layoffs and restructuring. Along the way the workforce has become more diverse in multiple ways (e.g., five generations of workers together for the first time in history). 

In this session we will explore the changes and the challenges associated with the turbulence we have all experienced and how HR Leaders can help business leaders to respond to these multifactor changes and ensure both healthy productive work environments and successful business results. We’ll look at: 

• What steps have been/can be taken to build a resilient workforce that adapts quickly to changes both past and future?

• How do you support employees through change efforts so they not only survive but thrive?

• Do you address a multi-generational workforce any differently and, if so, how?

• How does diversity impact change resilience?

• How must leaders adapt so that they can effectively lead their teams through multiple changes?

• Are there HR policies and practices that can build workforce agility?

In today's economic landscape, organizational success hinges not just on financial strategy, but on a resilient employee population that drives innovation and results. In this session our panelists will set the stage for a participant discussion that will emphasize practical, tangible practices to help you navigate economic uncertainty while maintaining a robust, engaged, and psychologically supported workforce. 

Questions we hope to answer include: 

• What does a "healthy workplace" look like in 2025?

• How do you turn business constraints into opportunities for organizational strength, employee well-being, and sustainable growth.

• How do you maintain employee trust during uncertain times?

• How can organizations be both financially prudent and employee-centric?

Our goal is to give you a strategic roadmap to help you not only survive economic volatility, but emerge stronger, more adaptive, and fundamentally human-centric.
