Whether it’s the adoption of new AI technologies, navigating through a period of change management, or enhancing employee engagement, leadership from HR has become a prerequisite for organization-level success.

But it’s easier said than done, especially when it comes to adopting strategic and courageous HR leadership.

Realizing forward-thinking, proactive, and bold approaches to empowering people, positioning HR as a central, strategic force within the business landscape has gone from a nice-to-have, to a must-have for HR leaders.

That’s why UNLEASH’s portfolio of SHRM-accredited webinars running throughout September and early October will give you the inside track on everything you need to know to adapt to and lead through change.

September 12 – AI & HR Tech: The Disruptive Impact on the HR Function

HR leaders will be aware that the operating landscape is changing at a rapid clip, threatening the viability of more traditional, or even outdated, business models. AI will be the gasoline that propels this trend into overdrive.

Josh Bersin believes that it is the most disruptive landscape “since the beginning of the Internet.” As such, HR leaders and decision-makers need to be armed to strategize how to mitigate risk to the business and enhance the HR function in an AI-focused world.

Bersin and William (Bill) Pelster, alongside UNLEASH’s Editor-in-Chief Nima Sherpa Green, will explore why AI is accelerating change, how it’s reshaping the workforce, and what HR leaders must do to prepare their organizations for this new era.

September 17 – Empowering Leaders, Engaging Employees: Change Management as a Competitive Advantage

Change is inevitable; the question is, how do you effectively plan for it and ensure your people don’t wind up as casualties?

Perceptyx benchmark data from the last five years reveals a surprising trend: How organizations manage change is now the key differentiator of a great employee experience. 

However, the responsibility of leaders to help their teams navigate change and disruption while presenting a compelling vision for the future makes the tough job of being a manager even tougher.

In addition to breaking down the data on the crucial links between employee engagement, change management, and effective leadership, development leaders from Comcast and CareFirst will share real-world examples of evolving strategies to enhance leader effectiveness and company culture.

September 18 – Strategic HR: Advancing C-Suite Influence and Business Transformation

It’s not just about having a seat at the table anymore for HR. It’s about owning that seat and driving the strategic agenda in partnership with the C-suite.

While some have cracked this problem and now have input to, if not ownership of, strategic organizational decision-making, others struggle to influence decisions despite increased interaction at board level.

Join us to hear candid insights from both a CEO and Chief People Officer, who have successfully redefined the role of HR within their organization. Together, our panelists will explore how HR can evolve from an administrative function into a strategic powerhouse that drives a business to new heights.
