The Future of Work: Preparing for Tomorrow Today

Leaders face twin challenges of preparing for an unknown future while maintaining organizational growth. Astute leaders know the biggest differentiator for their organization is their people. Therefore, they must answer the question: How can we deliver top performance by helping our team diversify talent, develop key skills, and thrive? Amy’s research and insights will illuminate five organizational competencies essential for the future and best practices that will allow you to gain competitive advantage with a more engaging employee experience.

Diversity is Not Enough: Why and How HR Should Champion Inclusion in the Workplace

Fostering diversity in the workforce, addressing issues of inequality, and setting standards around workplace inclusion are not “should have’s.” They are “must haves.” An inclusive workplace directly impacts how an organization attracts and retains top-level talent. Discussions about diversity often are focused on recruiting efforts across race, class, and gender. These are important considerations but are only one piece of the diversity and inclusion puzzle. An organization may recruit and hire a diverse workforce, but if only certain groups of people feel valued and included, there’s a problem. It is critical that HR professionals zero in on what’s important holistically, from recruitment to retention and full inclusion, for organizations to be healthy and thrive.

The Future of Learning: Cultivating Learnability

Half of what you and your employees learned five years ago is completely irrelevant today. If you are running an organization and that doesn’t make you squirm, I’m not sure what would. Organizations need to be reimagining their learning and development (L&D) programs to deliver the changing skills people need to stay competitive. Given the half-life of skills, even hiring talent with the skills you need today won’t work as a long-term strategy. In this keynote, Amy will guide you through the essential steps required to upskill and reskill your workforce and cultivate a culture of learnability in your organization.

Professional growth through HR certification affords leaders and organizations a significant competitive advantage. Organizations with HR certified leaders establish and maintain better corporate culture, superior customer service, happier employees, and more successful and profitable business outcomes. For individual leaders, mastery of HR knowledge expands the impact you have within your organization. This informative keynote provides an overview of The Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI), the global organization that has been dedicated to certifying the HR community for 40+ years. As CEO of HRCI, Amy speaks to the competitive marketplace driving top-level business leaders to demand more business value from the HR practice.
