2021 Association Conference

2021 Conference Highlights:

The New Operational Excellence

In today’s unprecedented business environment, it’s almost impossible to keep up with the changes impacting the field of Human Resources. Hybrid workplaces. Pandemic afteraffects. Changing legislation. Technology advances are available, but finding the right solution means navigating hundreds of options from established players and multi-functional services to startup firms and plug-n-play platforms.

• How do you select and govern external providers, and how do you organize internal resources?
• How do you choose the right tech stack to ensure you have the infrastructure to meet the next wave of change?
• How do you identify operational gaps, specifically those related to recruitment, retention & engagement, and technology?
• How do you ensure strong employee engagement across your entire workforce?
• How do you meet the needs of a sometimes global, potentially remote, and often diverse group of employees and customers?

The HRO Today Association Conference, an HR micro-event, explored the answers to these questions and more. Interactive sessions with industry thought leaders combined with real life examples from our 2021 HRO Today Association Award finalists to inspire attendees to create their own vision for achieving the New Operational Excellence.
