WHY ATTEND?

Formerly known as the People in Healthcare Summit, this event has expanded to include life sciences and will recognize the work of HR leaders who effectively implemented programs to keep both clinical and non-clinical workers that we all rely on engaged to fight burnout, staffed crucial positions, and implemented performance management strategies.

BRING THE TEAM

Join senior-level HR practitioners across hospitals, care facilities, pharmaceuticals, biotechs, and medical device companies as we discuss best practices in talent acquisition, engagement, performance management, employee development, and unionization.

Facing Ongoing Workforce Challenges in Healthcare and Life Sciences

The healthcare and life sciences sectors face immense human resources challenges. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, biotech firms, and other entities grappled with talent shortages, declining employee retention, burnout, and escalating labor costs. Unaddressed, these challenges can compromise patient health, product innovation, employee well-being, and the overall sustainability of these vital industries.

The 15th Annual HRO Today Healthcare & Life Sciences Summit offers a platform for HR, recruitment, and workforce management experts to deliberate on strategies for talent acquisition and retention amidst industry fluxes. The summit will feature our Front of the Front-Line Dinner and Award Gala, celebrating HR pioneers across the healthcare and life sciences industries.

Topics will include:

  • Role of diversity and inclusion in driving innovation and care
  • Addressing rising workforce demands and potential unionization
  • HR’s Role in Clinical Trials
  • Impact of employee engagement on product outcomes and patient care
  • Crafting a resonant employer brand and enhancing candidate experience
  • Change Management in Biotech Mergers and Acquisitions
  • Strategies to reduce turnover and improve retention
  • Fostering a culture receptive to change and innovation
  • Methods to attract and retain top talent in specialized roles
  • Ensuring employee well-being and countering burnout
  • Strategies for effective contingent workforce management
