9:45 - 10:25 Talent Strategy In the Boardroom and the C-suite

Culture is among the hottest topics in the boardroom and c-suite – for good reason. A company’s intangible assets, such as talent and culture, make up a large percentage of the company’s value. It’s critical to nurture a culture that inspires talent, innovation, and values in an era of fierce competition, globalization, and distributed workforces. This fireside chat will share ideas for how talent leaders can engage with the c-suite and the board to ensure the workforce they build is the best competitive advantage their companies have.

Most recruiters don’t know how to read background check results and end up rejecting candidates who have any blemish on their record. And since most major check providers in the industry will be there, we thought it could be beautiful to see all providers come together to educate people to read the checks in hopes it leads to more understanding and hires of candidates from diverse backgrounds. This session will influence behavior change and impact lives.
