CONFERENCE DAY 2
LEAP HRBP Searchlight Deep Dive breakfast session
Thursday, July 20 | 7.30am - 8.00am
The LEAP HRBP Searchlight Network is hosting a breakfast deep dive session first thing on Day Two of the conference where you’ll be joined by Adam Thomas, the CPO of Synlogic and a group of current HRBP Searchlight members.
The session’s topic is based on a previously recorded presentation by Karen Anderson, CHRO at Centessa and formerly Pfizer, Biogen and Alnylam. Karen led a thought provoking workshop on ‘How to Ensure Line Managers, not HR, Own Employee Engagement’ which received such positive feedback that we’d like to share it again.
For context, this is a ‘taster session’ to demonstrate what the LEAP HRBP Searchlight Network meetings look like. This is a community comprised of a global group of HiPo HRBPs who meet virtually year-round to learn from CHROs and tackle business-critical challenges through thought-provoking case studies. These HRBP members walk away with practical tools and a network they can contact to work smarter, not harder.
Explore LEAP HR Searchlight Networks
The exclusive, industry-specific, global life sciences network built by CHROs for CHROs to overcome critical challenges and discover solutions through year round connection. Through facilitated dialogue, the exchange of experiences, and shared best practice with hyper-relevant provocative thought partners, LEAP CHRO Searchlight strives to radically change businesses through its people.
A dynamic development academy sculpted for HiPo HRBPs who have potential but need more experience and diversity of thought to deliver maximum impact. Each monthly meeting is led by experienced HR thought leaders (mentors) to accelerate personal skill progression, advance the business, and better support the CHRO.
An exclusive and collaborative community of disruptive TA leaders engaged in a year-round pursuit to accelerate the recruitment of better talent within life sciences, faster. Through short, sharp and strategic cornerstone meetings, these life science organizations finally create the time to think into the future, developing a 'what's next' mindset by uncovering 'aha moments' from their peers.
