Education Programme

In this opening session we set the scene on what modern working, work / life balance, office life and career management look like. With an introduction from Al Turner on the changing face of business, this will get you in the mood to start looking at your own worklife …

Which comes first the career or personal life? Do we have to choose? In this session we share our hacks on how to juggle both and how to succeed when the office is also the kitchen table, and your next role could come from someone you met on social media.

A business cannot be scaled without attracting the right talent, and to attract the top talent in today’s market place, businesses need to upgrade their recruiting skills. Taking a people-first approach to recruitment means creating a compassionate people led recruitment strategy – from employer branding and recruitment processes through to succession planning and time to fill and hire metrics. This interactive workshop session will give you the knowledge and the tools you need to create a people first business recruitment strategy for your own business. Attendees will be able to bring their own recruitment challenges to be discussed and worked through and will leave with real, measurable changes that they can implement on their return to the office. Robert will follow up two months later with a one-to-one session to check in and review progress.

Are you struggling to manage your remote team or to just work in a remote environment? Losing out on engagement when people are working remotely? Worried about keeping up the quality and following processes? Not sure how to deliver remote training sessions and inductions? In this session, Amy will share her top tips to manage all these areas effectively and efficiently, while still building a strong remote team.

In this session we address the pervasive stereotypes and biases that continue to hold women back in the workplace. We’ll discuss the importance of challenging these stigmas and promoting gender equity. From debunking myths about women’s leadership abilities to destigmatising women’s health and family responsibilities, we’ll examine how to create a more inclusive and supportive work environment. Join us for a thoughtful and inspiring discussion on how to break down stigmas and empower women in the event industry.

Finding your tribe, a workplace that shares the same values, a workplace that recognises progressive ways of working creates a “work-blend”.

Aarron talks us through his 12-year career and what he has learnt about a more social way of working.

It’s all very well speaking about work life but why is this so difficult and what are the solutions. Featuring some of the day’s speakers, we try and make sense of the madness.
