Keynote | The New Intelligence for the Human Age

COVID-19 is spreading exponentially, workforces have been sent home, physical distancing and self-isolation are the new norm and school's out. Welcome to the reality of being a professional in 2020. Partner this complexity with a workforce that was already feeling burnt out, anxious and humanly disconnected and you have the platform for a perfect storm.

Whilst the immediate priority is focused on flattening the curve, the long-term critical priority is maintaining the mental health of our society so that those who survive have the ability to thrive. We find ourselves at a forced moment of inflection. Mother nature has sent us to our metaphoric rooms and given us time out – time out to rethink the future of humanity and the role we have in shaping it.

Welcome to the human age! A place where those who put humans first and prioritise the mental health of their employees will reap the rewards long term. But how? It’s time to cultivate a new intelligence – an intelligence that enables humans to cease reacting and start intentionally adapting.

This interactive learning experience will explore:

• What it means to be human and why it matters more than ever
• How to cultivate positive human connection experiences whilst working virtually
• A framework for amplifying the human skills required to support intentional adaptation and basic wellbeing

From Self-Service to Full Service - Employee Experience People Services

Bupa had a fully self-service model when it came to Workday. There was plenty of noise about having to “log a ticket” and never hearing back. Some of that was fair, some unfair, but the perception was that our People Team frontline support for managers when dealing with Workday was a black hole.

Enter the employee experience era. A strategic shift away from self-service to a full-service model supported with some key tech – an Amazon Web Services Connect phone system linked to our existing Servicenow ticketing system and supported with key intelligent automation bots.

Suddenly the noise was gone and the satisfaction levels were up!

3 key learnings for this session include:

1. Not everyone wants to self-serve, especially those who don’t take actions in Workday very often
2. Speaking to a human is invaluable
3. Technology can be a key enable of a streamlined full-service model

On the Hunt for Talent: How AI and Other Technology Improved Our Candidate Experience

Identifying and attracting top talent is a key imperative for companies’ future success. At RWWA, attraction wasn’t an issue, but keeping people on through an engaging recruitment process was.

Their strategy was to focus on the experience, creating a point of difference – from advertisement through to the recruitment cycle.

Incorporating an interactive and engaging candidate workflow with onboarding technology pre-interview was one way. Introducing AI technology to assess ‘attribute fit’ and remove unconscious biases the other.

The result for the candidate joining the business was a unique and innovative experience supported by technology in making hiring decisions based on attributes and culture fit.

3 key learnings for this session include:

1. A recruitment cycle that puts candidate experience first doesn’t have to be complicated – designing a process so that the candidate is put at ease and gets to shine will go a long way in ensuring you make the right hiring decision
2. AI can further enhance hiring decisions – removing unconscious bias in the selection process and identifying the right attributes of potential employees will ensure a greater capability and cultural fit
3. When using different technologies, the experience for the candidate needs to be seamless – through the style of language, imaginary and communications you can create an experience that puts the technology in the background, but puts the experience at the forefront for the candidate

COVID strikes – what now? We have over 900 staff across 3 countries that we need to train to WFH, whilst providing coaching and support and anything else required by the business. We can’t possibly deliver that? Yes we can, and we did!

We delivered virtual desktop training, team leader coaching and trained agents to be multi-skilled in more than one area in 8 hours. We rewrote content that was to be delivered over 2 weeks and delivered it in 8 hours. We trained at 8:00am, and we trained at 10:00pm. The one thing we never said was no we can’t or won’t do it.

3 key learnings for this session include:

1. As an Instructional designer/facilitator you can do anything that is required of you – you can adapt your skills to help you design/deliver any content even if you aren’t the SME
2. The worst situations really do bring out the best in people, and trust helps you deliver anything you have to
3. Learning and capability works best when you consider yourself as a business partner to your stakeholders

Keynote | We Are Stronger Together

2020 has been one tough year. Now, leaders in education are not only tasked with trying to stabilise how they operate during the pandemic, but they also know that in whatever form they seek to rebuild their organisation’s culture, it must be with a committed effort towards diversity, inclusion and equality.

It shouldn’t take social movements like #MeToo or #BlackLivesMatter to awaken a collective consciousness around long-standing systemic biases. René will share, through contemporary stories, how some progressive leaders are going about driving the transformation of their cultures to be more caring and more inclusive in a pragmatic and practical manner.

3 key learnings for this session include:

1. Collaboration is the new leadership
2. How vital inclusive leadership is today
3. Everyone can be a leader if they choose to be

Future of Work HR Transformation Data & People Analytics Cultural Change Technology Implementation & Adoption

Digital Workplace and Organisation Design

An organisation’s digital workplace has an increasing impact on employees’ experience, performance and productivity and yet is an area of people technology in which HR often has little role. It is therefore useful to understand how the digital workplace integrates with more common aspects of HR’s work, and in particular, our responsibilities for effective organisation design. The digital workplace needs to be deeply integrated with other organisational enablers if its full potential impact is to be achieved. Digital tools and ways of working change the organisation and its culture, enabling people to work in projects, communities and networks, and can reduce the need for hierarchical structures and approaches.

But in its turn, the organisation deeply influences the way and the extent to which people respond to digital transformation. A key requirement is to define the most important type of organisational group or network, so that the digital workplace can deliver a quality experience to these, as well as to individual employees and contingent workers. This session will suggest that businesses need to approach digital projects as organisation design. Doing this starts with articulating the required digital capabilities and desired cultural outcomes and using these to guide changes in the organisation structure, people, leadership, processes, technologies and other enablers. The approach means that HR needs to work closely alongside IT and digital and leads to a more effective workplace and higher levels of performance.

3 key learnings for this session include:

1. Align the digital workplace with business and employee needs
2. Gain insights into modern organisation design and the way these can support decisions on people technology
3. Understand the role of different groups and networks in organisational effectiveness and the consequences for the digital workplace

Stay Apart, Stand Together - Learning, Interaction & Mental Health During the Pandemic

In March, Netwealth Investments transitioned a business that did not have a strong working from home culture to everyone working from home. After the adrenaline faded, they realised that this was going to go on a lot longer than they thought. With additional lockdowns, adrenaline became grim determination and then resignation.

They had to address:

• How to induct online
• How to move all training to a virtual environment with little to no supporting technology
• How to support mental health and maintain their culture

They created a web of learning and activities around their people, including changing their existing courses, introducing virtual exercise, performance and wellbeing workshops, their very first mental health sessions, as well as a range of different social interaction drivers.

3 key learnings for this session include:

1. Experiment – there is no magic wand course that works for everyone
2. Zoom out – formal learning is a start but what activities and ideas can you add to the mix to achieve your outcome
3. The personal touch – when the only people you see are through a computer screen, every interaction counts

Ultimate Customer Conversations: From Challenge to Change

Customer conversations are core business for UBank Customer Contact Centre Advisors. It’s why they’re here and what they do – dozens of times each shift, via multiple channels, supporting multiple products. Advisors are at the forefront of UBank’s mission to Deliver the Ultimate CX.

Previous attempts to embed customer conversation standards haven’t been successful as our CX was inconsistent. Together, L&D and Contact Centre Colleagues drew on lessons learned and applied design thinking principles to develop a holistic framework and approach to enable Ultimate Customer Conversations (UCC).

After starting with the “why”, we defined what ultimate means in the context of customer conversations. Next, we developed the “how”: initial learning and development > on the job enablement > actionable insights for continuous improvement. UCC creates conditions for success through an ecosystem of people, process, tools and data. Today, UCC is how we work, and it works for our customers (improved customer conversation efficiency and effectiveness) and our colleagues (improved colleague engagement, relationships and wellness).

3 key learnings for this session include:

1. Simple and obvious may be exactly what’s needed
2. Context, connection, consistency and clarity are more powerful value drivers than the shiniest “toys”
3. Metrics matter – don’t be scared!

The world is changing, or so they say. Innovation in learning has been happening consistently for the last five years. In this short 30-minute presentation and 15-minute Live Q&A, Darren and Erin are going to pinpoint some thoughts and ideas that have merged in the last couple years (even in the last six months) of how we're innovating in learning today and where it will take us to in the future.

They will touch upon things like pivoting from in-person learning sessions to virtual – even taking a 300-person conference that usually is held in person and translating that into a virtual conference in collaboration environment all done live in one day. They will talk about how to make work fun in virtual environments and how to help people feel like they are part of a community that continues to give feedback and grow. Most of all, Darren and Erin will focus on the learner and the people side of things and how technology just helps us or augments some of the things that we used to do in person.

3 key learnings for this session include:

1. Learn the top three-to five-pain points and how to solve them in learning today
2. Hear first-hand on how to tackle some of the challenges of going from in person to virtual – not in a traditional move to the cloud, but more about how you innovate and disrupt the way you can do things to solve these problems

In 2019, Fonterra pledged to the New Zealand government that they would not only double skills growth hours delivered by 2025, but also disclose their investment publicly. They had no idea how they would go about this but with their chosen technology, had a good platform to start. From building a community of practice to a reporting platform and telling the story of their people’s skills growth, this is how Fonterra approached the NZ Skills Pledge.

1. Approach to a challenge with learning data and learning systems
