Getting leadership buy-in isn’t getting any easier—especially when the pressure to demonstrate ROI is higher than ever. When HR is constantly dismissed as a “cost center,” it’s easy to feel like your People initiatives are doomed before they even get off the ground.

In this follow-up to our popular 2024 session, Priscila Bala (CEO, LifeLabs Learning), Luck Dookchitra (VP People, Leapsome), and Melanie Naranjo (Chief People Officer, Ethena) will host an engaging conversation where they’ll share actionable advice and recommendations for HR teams on how to:

  • Build a clear and compelling business case for your next People initiative
  • Expertly navigate pushback from your CEO and leadership team
  • Level up your CEO-CPO partnership
