Noting that HR has never been as exciting as it is now, Angela shares the energy she gets from impacting one person and her view on a key role of HR being a place to find support. Discussing generative AI as a tool that can enable HR to better support colleagues, Angela considers invasion of privacy and stigma, and shares the example of a ‘rainy day fund’.

A champion of the Asian American and Pacific Island (AAPI) community, Angela describes using her platform to share the voice of AAPI groups and to help debunk the model minority myth, as well as providing examples of harnessing her leadership role at Harvard to progress DE&I.

It’s the story of how your parental leave gifts, celebrating and appreciating your colleagues, and at the same time empowering vulnerable children, that creates such poignant employee engagement.

Dom describes significant culture change at Cable & Wireless in the Caribbean, created by actions including micro-behaviour change, changes to performance management and types of leave, that have had impact beyond the organisation.

Advocating that HR must start with business strategy before leading people strategy, Dom discusses how HR is moving up the value chain, and the opportunities this brings. Sharing the idea of ‘Purpose Bundling’, Dom describes his passions, how they connect with work and relate to the communities and markets he leads in.

Dom shares his experience of working on culturally sensitive topics, including gender-based violence, and, giving credit to a phrase from The Billie Jean King Foundation, calls on everyone in HR to ‘show up, stand up, speak up’
