Executive Briefing with WorkBoard CEO Deidre Paknad

Join us for an important conversation on CHRO's top priorities this year and how they impact your efforts!

As CEOs drive more with less, People and HR leaders have moved from driving recruiting and retention to driving enterprise productivity and performance with:

• Leader and manager effectiveness programs to improve cross-functional alignment: these dovetail perfectly with your efforts to drive alignment.
• GenAI to improve productivity: they need tools that improve focus, give people time back, and elevate their impact.
• Frequent performance conversations that drive enterprise results. While team OKRs and individual goals should be separate, an individual's performance on team OKRs absolutely informs the performance conversation.
