EXperience Conference

Become an irresistible organization!

EXperience Conference, October 25th, 2018

Crowne Plaza, Bucharest

 

The world of work has changed:  organizations are competing for talent, employees are overwhelmed, and productivity continues to be a challenge.

But there are solutions. :)

As work radically evolves in the 21st century, with software set to disrupt most traditional industries in the next five to ten years, it’s becoming more and more obvious that no matter how hard companies might try to create engagement with their employees, it is the employees themselves who are the ultimate arbiters of whether or not to engage with their work. Moreover, successful customer experience begins and ends with the organizations' employees, who are on the front lines of brand representation .

In this context, Sir Richard Branson's quote is very relevant: "My philosophy has always been, if you can put staff first, your customers second, and shareholders third, effectively, in the end, the shareholders do well, the customers do better, and your staff remains happy."

Thus, as we shift to the future of work, organizations are increasingly focusing on the reasons why employees want to work versus need to work. To put it shortly, smart and visionary organizations are aspiring towards becoming irresistible organizations.

How can you do that, too?

By focusing on Employee Experience (EX). EX encapsulates what people encounter, observe or feel over the course of their employee "journey" at an organization. A successful EX strategy should emphasize those HR actions and project that strengthen the emotional connection people have to their work and to their organization.

On October 25th, you are invited to HR Club EXperience Conference to find out how you can transform your organization into an irresistible one for your employees.

The 14th edition's keynote speakers are Josh Bersin, Industry Analyst & Thought Leader and founder of BersinTM by Deloitte, and Doreswamy (Nandu) Nandkishore, Executive Fellow London Business School and retired CEO/ Executive Vice President for Nestlé Nutrition.

Keynote 1: The Irresistible Organization: Seven Keys for Organizational Success in the Year Ahead

In this keynote presentation, Josh Bersin, industry analyst and founder of Bersin™ by Deloitte, will explain how the business world has changed and what trends are ahead.

To put this discussion into context, he’ll present his new model for organizational success, which encompasses those elements needed to create the type of work culture that drives employee engagement and performance and attracts top talent.

Keynote 2: Sustainable Value Creation

The session will trace the four stages of evolution in a company’s life.

We will discuss the importance of understanding the purpose of the organization: is it profit maximisation, or is it something more? We introduce the concept of sustainable value creation with profits as an outcome.

We then examine the role of strategic intent, especially in the medium term, and the role of leadership in creating, nurturing or changing the culture to suit the stage of evolution of the company. 

 

 

Plenary session: EXperience Drivers

For some employees, Employee Experience (EX) also means the opportunities for civic engagement offered by their organizations.

On October 25th, during the Plenary Session EXperience Drivers, we will meet NGOs with interesting stories about volunteering projects in which companies' employees get actively involved.

Georgiana Giba, Project Manager, Asociatia Global Dignity, will tell us about an extremely interesting and impactful project - Ora de demnitate (The Dignity Class).

Ora de demnitate is a project that challenges young students to discover the concept of dignity and to understand the importance of dignity for their development.

You will find out about:

  • The way the organization attracts, prepares, and retains volunteers;
  • The volunteer profile that the organization looks for;
  • The way they are prepared to deliver the central message of the organization: ”You have the right to be YOU!”, towards students aged 12 to 18 in Bucharest schools;
  • How the activities performed by the organization challenge the students to ask themselves questions and to correlate dignity with values that they can put into practice in the day to day life: courage, respect, perseverance, ambition etc.;
  • How these school experiences are actually a continuous process of learning and development for the volunteers.

 

Adriana Preda, Executive Director, Asociatia The Social Incubator, will talk about the organization that, for over 4 years, has supported the social and professional integration of disadvantaged young people in Romania.

Asociatia The Social Incubator supports the young people who left - or are about to leave - the state child protection system, aged between 16 and 26, to make the transition (otherwise very difficult and risky) towards adult life in a manner that emphasizes their abilities and ensures long-term independence. Up to now, the organization has successfully supported over 400 institutionalized young people in the process of social and professional integration, on a national level.

You will find out about:

  • How to become a volunteer of this organization and why your involvement matters;
  • How you can support the organization in offering a chance to a dignified and independent future for disadvantaged young people;
  • How you can apply your personal and professional abilities, your passions and ideals, to directly support disadvantaged young people;
  • How you can encourage authentic personal and professional development of disadvantaged young people, using your personal example;
  • How you can become a model of involvement and an engine of social change for those around you.

 

Anca Nastase, Executive Director, Federatia VOLUM, will talk about corporate volunteering programmes, about their motivation and role in Romanian companies.

Federatia VOLUM is an umbrella organization in the field of volunteering, implementing projects with and for stakeholders that are interested in developing volunteering on a national level. Currently, VOLUM has 89 member NGOs from all over the country, activating in all industries, and mobilizing over 20,000 volunteers in their projects..

You will find out about:

  • What volunteering is and what impact it can have in the life of your company's employees;
  • The role of a corporate volunteering programme in your company;
  • Where you start and where you end a successful corporate programme;
  • What to do in order to make your internal volunteering programme contribute to a long-term change in the organizational culture;
  • Examples of successful corporate volunteering projects.

This year, the Master Class session will also take place in parallel with the plenary session, from14:30 to 18:00. Please send us your participation option to madalina.tanase@hr-club.ro.

Master Class Josh Bersin: Creating the Irresistible Employee Experience

In this Master Class, Josh Bersin, independent analyst and founder of Bersin™ by Deloitte, will explain his latest model for employee experience, employee engagement, and business culture. The class will then break down into groups and discuss the following topics, with a focus on designing actionable solutions:

  • What are the "moments that matter" in your company's employee experience?
  • How would you segment your employees into groups with common interests and needs that are easy to understand and address?
  • What are the most difficult issues your company faces in employee experience that touch on these moments and employee groups?
  • How do you believe you can best solve these problems, using the model presented?

At the end of this Master Class, you will have a roadmap to improving your organization's employee productivity and engagement.

Master Class Nandu Nandkishore: Ten Strategy & Leadership Lessons for Winning in VUCA Environments

We live in increasingly fast changing and disruptive, environments (the VUCA world). We examine first, each of the possible sources of VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) disruption using the TIDES framework (Technology, Institutions, Demographics, Environment/Ethics, Social changes) and ask participants to use this framework to identify for their own industry what disruption effects to model and prepare for. There will be discussions and exercises for the participants to bring home the learning.

Nandu will  then share (illustrated with personal examples) ten lessons for leaders in VUCA environments, drawing from his personal experience  in winning in VUCA environments, as well drawing upon academic theory.
