Advancing Talent Governance<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The board’s trust in the CHRO is essential. That was one topic surfaced by a distinguished panel addressing talent risks and human capital management before an audience of directors, investors, and governance professionals. Co-hosted by Farient Advisors and Paul Hastings at the law firm’s Manhattan office, the discussion delved into the oversight of human capital, now largely recognized as a core business asset; backlash against environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives; and the delicate balance of aligning management and stakeholder interests.<\/p>\n

Moderator Elena R. Baca<\/strong>, Paul Hastings’ partner and global chair of its employment law department, was joined by Robin A. Ferracone,<\/strong> founder and CEO, Farient Advisors, and compensation committee chair, TWFG; Diane Gherson<\/strong>, former chief people officer at IBM, who now serves on the boards of Kraft Heinz, Centivo, TechWolf, and the National Academy of Human Resources; Peter R. Gleason<\/strong>, president and CEO, National Association of Corporate Directors, and director, Nura Health; and Frances (Fran) F. Townsend<\/strong>, director of Chubb, Freeport-McMoRan, and Leonardo DRS, and former assistant to President George W. Bush for homeland security and counterterrorism and chair of the Homeland Security Council.<\/p>\n
