Workvivo is taking over Manhatta's Whitman Ballroom on the 60th floor of 28 Liberty Street, and we'd love for you to join us. 

A half-day event for HR leaders in New York City, hosted by Workvivo. Good sessions, good people, and conversations with peers going through the same challenges you are. 

On the agenda: why most employee listening stops at the data and never makes it to action, building cultures where people do their best work, and how AI is changing what HR teams can do with the insights they already have. Plus plenty of time to grab a coffee and chat between sessions. 

Michelle Rogerson from EXOS is opening the day on building high-performance cultures without burning people out.  

You'll also hear from:

Free to attend (limited seats subject to approval).  

Free breakfast, 60th floor views, and a morning that doesn't feel like a conference. See you there! 

📅 May 21st, New York City

Launching a business is one of the most exciting, yet scary things ever. We know this to be VERY true for HR people, who have spent their careers SUPPORTING the business, but not necessarily creating the fundamentals for them to BUILD their own business.

This is why we are so excited that Hacking HR and Fractional People People are partnering to bring this exclusive, 100% FREE and 100% virtual summit: LaunchHR.

We will cover the fundamentals, from the "why do I even want to create a business" to "ok, this is how use AI to help me out".

Also, we are HONORED to share that VirgilHR is sponsoring our LaunchHR Business Grant, including:

Most organizations can identify the signals we described in this article. What’s challenging is redesigning work, helping leaders develop skills and change behaviors, and creating the organizational conditions and support systems to do it at scale.
