This summit has been specifically designed to target your need to review and reinvigorate your talent management and leadership development strategies, at a time when the need to stop the impending recovery-fuelled ‘talent drift’ is firmly at the forefront of most HR professionals’ minds.
Evaluate how to effectively predict potential, develop innovative ways to compete in the war for talent, understand how the psychological employment contract is changing, and how we should be responding to this. Hear case studies from leaders in the field, discuss strategies and network with your peers in our interactive Knowledge Share Sessions, and leave with practical ideas to develop your talent and leadership practices.

Workplace Healthcare

Workplace healthcare & wellbeing has certainly moved forward in the last ten years, quite possibly the word ‘wellbeing’ would not have even been used, but is now regularly applied in the corporate world when referring to the physical & mental state of your workforce.
Keeping your staff healthy typically involved occupational health, physio and compliance with health & safety, perhaps with some health perks within your employee benefit packages. These remain important elements, however…
There is a bigger picture.
Increasingly companies are realizing that the ongoing wellbeing of their people is paramount.
Historically treatment has been reactive, this has now been allied with a proactive approach, the philosophy ‘prevention is better than cure’ has been adopted by organisations that want to keep their people fit, active and productive.
