About this event
Help HR leaders understand what CEOs and boards value, and how to show HR’s commercial impact in ways that secure real influence.
Expect a highly practical session with a global CEO that focuses on what really earns HR a genuine seat at the top table.
Attendees will:
- Hear directly from a CEO on what they look for in a Chief People Officer and senior HR leaders.
- HR as a strategic, commercial partner, not a cost centre, and why this matters
- Understand which people metrics CEOs and boards actually care about – and which they don’t – turn HR data into sharp, board‑ready insight.
- Building a bond and respect: Have confidence in influencing the CEO and board, including how to have your voice heard and challenge effectively.
- The real value of HR to a business
- You might get a candid view of the most unhelpful senior HR habits from a CEO’s perspective
- Q&A
Everyone welcome to attend especially those who are in standalone roles and for want to increase their impact, this event will leave you with concrete ideas, new language, and immediately usable actions to change how you show up with your CEO and board
