Post-pandemic, workplaces have changed seismically. Employers face rafts of new legislation, high levels of attrition if the workplace feels unsupportive, or if competitors are offering a more engaging experience. With a panel of fascinating and revolutionary practitioners, we will examine the ways in which the smart employers are aligning culture and business goals and benefitting from better applicants, fewer resignations, a great reputation, lower employment tribunals and increased performance.
You'll learn:
- How to avoid pitfalls and seize opportunities offered by radically overhauling your workplace culture.
- What's new, what's working and what you can consider adopting in your own organisation, from our industry experts.
- The secrets to a successful culture change.
