Inside the C-Suite Mind: What Business Leaders Really Want From HR & Talent
At our kick-off NJA Meetup for 2026, we’re flipping the script.
Instead of hearing from HR about HR, we’re bringing C-suite leaders (CFOs, COOs, Founders / CEOs) straight into the room to tell us exactly what they need, expect, appreciate… and secretly wish HR & Talent would do more (or less!) of 👀
If you’ve ever wondered:
❓ What do business leaders actually want from us?
⚡ How do we build trust with execs — fast?
🤝 What does great partnership look like… and what kills it?
📊 How do I speak the language of the business so I’m taken seriously?
🚧 What helps — and what unintentionally gets in the way?
…then this is your event.
And yes — we’re asking the questions HR leaders usually debate behind closed doors 🫢
🚫 No sugar-coating.
🚫 No corporate-speak.
✅ Just honest insights from the people we partner with every day.
👥 Who’s this for?
C-suite & Heads of HR, Talent Acquisition, People & Culture Business Partners, L&D professionals — anyone who wants to elevate their impact and build tighter alignment with the business.
🎙️ Who’s on the panel?
A curated group of business leaders from finance, operations and founder backgrounds, sharing candid insights you won’t find in books, courses or conference keynotes.
(Full Speaker Lineup will be announced soon!)
