Fitbit’s Tips and Tricks to Reboot Culture & Ignite Engagement

Learn from Fitbit’s SVP People and key members of the Fitbit People Leadership team about how they increased their engagement scores by over 20 points over the past few years--even during a global pandemic and a merger. Through stories and examples they will explore how to build a high performing leadership team, engaging the board of directors to drive a broader human capital agenda, and putting strong HR fundamentals in place to build organizational capability. Additionally they will discuss how the development of strong manager capability, building greater alignment and increasing inclusion and a focus on diversity and well-being have been key components to driving positive change and fueling business results.

The New World of Work

Much of the conversations surrounding work revolve around the WHERE - are we all remote? Are we all in the office? Are we hybrid? But if we stop and pause a minute to move beyond the “where,” there are so many other elements that have shifted and need to be addressed: what do employees value and expect from their employers, how do you lead with empathy while balancing business priorities, how do you create connection within your teams, how do you create trust. Explore what the future of work really means once you move past where employees punch their time card?

DEI&B: Looking to 2025

It's been almost a year since we saw individuals and organizations speak up and step forward, voicing their commitment to strengthening their diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. What have you done in the past year that's truly made an impact? What strategies do you have planned to integrate DEI&B throughout the employee lifecycle going forward? What does meaningful progress look like in 2025? Hear from HR, People Ops, and DE&I leaders about tangible steps you can take in the days and years ahead to ensure we collectively build a different, more inclusive tomorrow.

The Evolution of the Modern Day Manager

The role of the manager has evolved from colleague to occasional coach, some may even go so far to say therapist. The idea of a micro-manager or boss has evolved into more productive approaches like the autonomous manager or caring supervisor. This evolution in management style has been proven to drive greater productivity and higher job satisfaction with employees. So how do we instill this more positive management approach across the organization and ensure we provide necessary training to level-up our teams? Join us to hear real-world insights, what’s worked and what hasn’t, on the evolution of the manager in the modern workplace.

The Accelerated Transformation of Learning

A new era is unfolding in which exponential advances in digital technologies and human centered leadership are causing us to reevaluate how we as individuals and organizations are learning. This accelerated transformation of learning has taken L&D leaders on an intense and suspenseful ride. There is a wide landscape of creative solutions in how organizations are developing their employees to adapt to constant change. Incorporating reskilling and upskilling, coaching, storytelling to navigate change, next generation gamification, VR/AR, and integrating learning into employees’ daily schedules are current learning methodologies used to drive growth and support organizations’ employees.

Creating a Culture of Caring

Organizations have recently developed a greater appreciation for the challenges of balancing work + family. People leaders have been called upon to serve as "chief empathy officers," with caregiving being a key area of opportunity to support their workforce. Every employee has a family and most will care for them at various points in their journey: children, parents, spouses, siblings, other loved ones. Building an inclusive, caring culture is critical to attract, retain, and grow a thriving organization. This panel will explore the value of culturally prioritizing caregiving, learning about employee needs, and share stories about the impact of implementing new initiatives.

From CPO to Venture Capital

Explore the new wave in career paths that Chief People Officers (CPO) who are in the Venture Capital (VC) space are surfing. These CPOs are now approaching their role with a combination of fundamental business operational skill set combined with a people first approach in order to help organizations be successful at all stages of growth. This also assists VCs in being able to make smart determinations on which companies to invest in by applying this lens that only CPO’s have held. This will be a showcase of those who are living it and are now making a bigger impact.

Rethinking Compensation Strategy

As we move into this wave of remote work and focus on pay equity, companies are facing new questions and unexpected challenges. What is your compensation philosophy? How are you aligning compensation to drive business outcomes, utilizing all of the elements of comp (salary, benefits, performance incentives, culture)? How are you handling adjustments and comp ranges with the relocation of employees to different smaller markets? We’ve brought together leaders in HR and compensation to uncover the latest thinking.

Returning to the Workplace: The Latest on Policies, Mandates, and Vaccines

As vaccines become more widely available, employers are thinking through various opportunities and implications for their workplace policies. Whether it’s understanding vaccines or knowing the latest federal and state legislation requiring employers to acknowledge and report COVID-19 cases in the workplace, business and HR leaders need to comprehend and implement plans to protect their people and their business. Dig deep into employer considerations from a medical, legal, and business perspective.

Operationalizing the New Normal

In 2020 we learned how to “become digital” or “reorganize for growth” as a response to COVID, global recession, political unrest, unraveling systematic racism and climate change. It’s almost the end of Q1 2021, it’s time to institutionalize what we’ve learned and focus on the need to scale this new world. How are companies scaling processes to integrate resilience, well-being and human centered leadership into their everyday employee experiences and culture? What new technology platforms and talent practices are leaders assimilating into their people strategies. How do we as People Leaders build a stronger future at scale from the lessons of 2020?
