Why are we running this webinar?

The coronavirus pandemic has changed the workplace forever. The rate of digitisation has been head-spinning. WFH is the way forward, Zoom is the new watercooler and no one's book shelves are beyond scrutiny.

Organisations have been forced to change business models in order to leverage technology more effectively. For HR teams, new challenges have arisen as they rapidly shift objectives to support this new way of life.

In all the flux, maintaining a consistent level of happiness amongst the workforce may have dropped off the agenda completely.

But businesses still need to get the best from their people. Whilst technology is an enabler, unless there is positive, open engagement, productivity will inevitably suffer.

This half-day online conference explores how to engage people and support managers to positively lead remote teams.

It looks at ongoing mental wellness and poses the productivity question: Is your approach making your people happy and engaged? Are they delivering the best outputs as a result?

Format

  • Online half day conference
  • Drop-In format which encourages people to ‘dip in and out’ of the conference
  • Multiple sessions on at any one time – attendees choose two breakouts from four
  • Multiple format including keynote, panel discussion, audience Q&A plus virtual workshops

Key themes / questions asked

  1. How can tech support motivation in the new workspace?
  2. The importance of tech for helping leaders support their teams.
  3. How can tech improve happiness and engagement in the workplace?
  4. How does technology improve productivity and profit?

Audience

HR Teams, senior HR professionals and any individual with responsibility for embedding new HR tech, and wellbeing within an organisation.
