It was wonderful to see so many members of the HRO Today Association at the recent HRO Today Forum, which took place May 2 to May 4th in Philadelphia. The Association does a great job of connecting members virtually, but it was nice to meet in person and have a little fun together. While virtual learning opportunities are great, it was very clear that HR practitioners and providers still need and want to come together for in-person learning and networking. I’m looking forward to next year’s Forum in Las Vegas.
The Forum was also a meeting place for members of the CHRO Today Executive Network (C-TEN). Members really enjoyed the opportunity to spend half a day together to discuss the most pressing issues on their minds. Here are two pieces of feedback I received.
“I enjoyed the C-TEN retreat and left with some good insights and ideas to apply to my organization. I really liked the casual approach and conversation, which allowed me to get to know other members. External speakers and material were very good and very relevant.”
“The C-TEN retreat was one of the most valuable days I have spent out of the office. It was a great balance of subject matter: experts sharing their experience, vision, etc. mixed with the opportunity to have a roundtable discussion at the end of each one. I have already begun sharing some of the learnings from the meeting.”
If you’re not aware, C-TEN is a content and development society that brings CHROs together to work through today’s HR challenges. C-TEN is a safe place to seek advice on the critical issues keeping you up at night, share successes, and discuss future of HR. Feel free to contact me if you would like to learn more. I expect the group to reach capacity later this year.
