CHRO/CLO Flagship National Summit

The role of Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs) and Chief Learning Officers (CLOs) has become increasingly intricate in the aftermath of a global pandemic. CHROs and CLOs are now at the forefront of efforts to establish business value and organizational effectiveness across all facets of workforce management. Consequently, the HR function has transcended its traditional position and now assumes a pivotal role alongside learning and development initiatives. HR and learning professionals are not merely present at the decision-making table; rather, they actively steer companies alongside the remainder of the C-suite, aiming to foster inclusivity, drive talent development, and adopt a holistic approach to the overarching business strategy. Within the current dynamic business environment, CHROs and CLOs confront a plethora of challenges that necessitate their HR and learning expertise, strategic acumen, and collaboration. They are tasked with ensuring efficient HR operations and adherence to regulations, optimizing the allocation of HR and learning budgets, and effectively managing employee engagement, well-being, and skill development. As a result, CHROs and CLOs are compelled to make well-informed decisions regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, talent acquisition, learning and development programs, retention strategies, and addressing skills gaps, while also implementing state-of-the-art HR and learning solutions. The next couple of years will be volatile, and while it holds many challenges, there are also many opportunities for CHROs and CLOs to get it right. Our community of proactive CHROs and CLOs actively seek partners capable of providing guidance and support throughout their HR and learning endeavors. The CHRO and CLO Series offers a unique opportunity to engage with these HR and learning leaders, enabling the exchange of knowledge, and fostering collaborations to address the challenges faced by CHROs and CLOs in today's HR and learning landscape. By prioritizing the roles of CHROs and CLOs and investing in robust HR and learning strategies, businesses position themselves favorably to thrive in today's employee-centric world and achieve organizational effectiveness.
