The Alignment Advantage: How PhRMA Connects Workforce Strategy, Well-Being, and Business Performance - 2026 Next Practices Weekly
As part of i4cp's Next Practices Weekly on September 17, 2026, join Renuka Iyer, EVP and Chief People & Culture Officer, and Kylie Jameson, EVP, Chief People & Culture Officer at PhRMA, for an executive conversation on one of today's most pressing leadership priorities: aligning workforce strategy, employee well-being, and organizational performance. As organizations navigate economic uncertainty, AI-driven transformation, and evolving employee expectations, HR leaders are uniquely positioned to ensure that people strategies enable both business resilience and workforce success.
Drawing from their experience leading people and culture at PhRMA, Renuka and Kylie will share an executive HR leaders perspective on why workforce alignment extends beyond organizational design and talent planning. They'll discuss how leadership, culture, employee experience, and well-being work together to create an environment where employees can perform at their best while advancing strategic business objectives. Hosted by i4cp, this discussion will examine how leading organizations are embedding well-being into business strategy - not as a standalone initiative, but as a driver of organizational effectiveness and long-term performance.
