HR LEADERS’ BRIEFING:
Driving Organisational
Performance
– Riyadh
In-Person | Tuesday 5 November 2024
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
08.15 – 12.15 AST
Event
Business performance has to be delivered at the organisational, business unit, team and individual level. Management and HR often focus on the individual and spend too much time and money designing and redesigning the appraisal process, which in reality has little impact on overall business performance.
Leveraging the insights from a global research study, attendees will leave with a clear idea of what is meant by performance (good and bad) and the levers that HR can use to drive superior performance for the organisation in the region.
Considering the organisation as a whole, this event will explore what HR should focus on to actually shift the needle on business performance.
Learning Objectives
- Apply an evidence-based methodology and framework to the use of performance management in your organisation
- Deepen your understanding of what is takes to create a high-performing environment and the levers HR can pull to drive superior organisational performance
- Examine financial and non-financial performance measures and the importance of both
Who is this event for?
This is an invite-only event designed to bring together HR Leaders and specialists with responsibility for performance management, organisational effectiveness and creating a high-performance culture.

Pre-event Masterclass
This pre-event masterclass will take place on Tuesday 5 November from 8:30 – 9.15am.
Delegates will have an opportunity to sign up for the masterclass once their main event registration has been confirmed.
Shift the performance needle with 5 Conversations. How to transform trust, engagement and organisational performance.
Join us to explore how HR/L&D leaders can leverage the power of conversations to drive the chain reaction to business performance. Using the latest neuroscience research and engagement data, our 5 Conversations approach shares the key conversations that managers and leaders can utilise to transform trust, engagement and performance at work. These conversations create the conditions for psychological safety to flourish and can complement or disrupt traditional approaches to performance conversations and appraisals.
In this interactive masterclass, we will explore how they were born out of our global “Constructive Conversations” programme with AstraZeneca, then evolved using emergent neuroscience. Finally we will share case studies of organisational who have adopted the approach, as well as an opportunity to explore the conversations.
