Promoting High-Performing Technical Staff to Management Roles- Wayne Zarb

In many fast-growing organizations, top technical performers are often promoted to management roles based on their expertise, rather than their readiness for people leadership. This practical session explores why continuous management training is critical, the challenges faced by new managers in transitioning from technical roles, and how early investment in leadership development can prevent common pitfalls. I'll share first-hand examples and actionable strategies to help HR professionals support their teams and improve manager success.

Designing the Talent Experience: How Service Design and AI Help People Teams Win Stakeholder Buy-In- Ivana Ćurić

Securing stakeholder buy-in for talent initiatives can be challenging when priorities differ across teams. In this session, Ivana Ćurić will show how service design methods transform Talent Experience Mapping into a shared language between People & Culture, hiring managers, and leadership.

11:10–11:40

No 9-to-5, No Problem: How Toggl Built a Remote Culture That Runs on Trust, Not Control- Dajana Berisavljević Đakonović

In a world where flexibility is often confused with a lack of structure, Toggl has built a model that balances both: RAFT (Results and Accountability First at Toggl). RAFT empowers teams to design their own workweeks—no fixed hours, no micromanagement—while staying laser-focused on measurable outcomes. In this session, you'll learn how Toggl makes this freedom work in practice through its unique Performance Talks framework, ensuring that autonomy and accountability go hand in hand. Discover how to create a culture that truly values results over appearances and business.
