How to create a great place to work. This workshop will explore how leaders can define their recruitment, succession and retention strategies to create an engaged team.
This interactive workshop is aimed at leaders who have a proactive interest in understanding the mechanics of employee engagement and the benefits that can be gained by focusing on stronger people practices.
This workshop will explore the theory of engagement, delving into the four pillars that form the basis of an employee’s connection with your business and how you can strengthen that bond.
We’ll then look at creating a sense of purpose in your business; how to define your vision and, most crucially, how to communicate it so that people understand what it means to them. Your talent strategy plays a protagonist’s role in your quest to create a great place to work, so we’ll take a tour of some great tips relating to talent acquisition, retention, motivation and succession planning.
Finally, it’s going to be more important than ever for leaders to tune into their employees’ mental well-being, ensuring the right support is in place to create an environment where everyone can be themselves and flourish.
This session was originally part of our larger Leadership Programme, but due to popular demand, we are running it as an individual session.
