5th Annual Workforce Executive Council Summit in NY

Workforce Executive Council | Future of Work | Leadership & Management | Talent Pipelines & Inclusion

Leading a workforce has never been an easy job, but those in the HR trenches already know this truth. Add to that we’re living in a world that has more questions than answers, and that feels more divided than even a few years ago. Given the shift, some might be questioning what brought you to this line of work in the first place, especially as the job dramatically changes to keep up with the times. But here we are. The good news is that along with these shifts and challenges has come hard earned experience and unimpeachable wisdom. CHROs, Chief People Officers and DEI chiefs have long been the guardians of a workforce's culture—now, years since the launch of our community back in 2020, the world looks different, but your experiences are time-tested. We're tapping into that collective knowledge as we convene the fifth annual CNBC Workforce Executive Council. Along with thought leaders, experts, and peers, we’ll talk through ideas and come up with actionable solutions, inspiring members to lead with conviction as we navigate the evolution of the CHRO’s role, changes in DEI, workforce demographics, the arrival of AI, and more.

Rhonda Morris, Chevron Vice President and CHRO

Jonathan Siddharth, Turing CEO and Co-Founder

Key Points

  • Every knowledge worker can get a productivity boost by using GenAI. Workforce leaders need to provide GenAI training for their workforce. Not in three months, not in six months—now.
  • People can advocate for their employees by upskilling their workforce, thinking through how GenAI impacts the fundamentals of their specific business, and by analyzing jobs through breaking them down by tasks and evaluating which can be automated.
  • Jobs most exposed to automation are in customer service and sales, food service, production and manufacturing, and administration and office jobs. If you are earning $38,000 or less annually, your job is 14 times more likely to be automated, and if you are a woman, you are 50 percent more likely to need to transition to a new job, and if you are a person of color, you are 10 percent more likely.
  • Two skills needed for the future are knowing how to use technology and having excellent social and emotional skills which are complementary alongside AI.
  • Celebrate the small wins. The AI transition is not going to happen overnight, and the way to unlock the massive maze ahead is by celebrating small projects and slowly increasing overall momentum.
