We’ll be looking at the key changes taking place in our rapidly evolving workplaces and how organisations are responding to them. Topics include – rethinking career priorities and paths, labour shortages, recruitment and retention, inclusive cultures, flexible working, wellbeing and more.

The latest employment data reveals that people are ‘rethinking’ their priorities and reflecting on what’s most important to them concerning their careers. Coupled with labour shortages, organisations are under immense pressure to come up with ideas about how they can best attract and retain talent. At the same time employees are experiencing their own pressures with a rise in stress levels and burnout.

Inclusive cultures. Flexible working. Wellbeing. The world of work is developing at an increasing rate – being left behind is not an option for organisations that aspire to thrive.

The year’s conference is the place to go for all people professionals and managers interested in improving workplaces and people practises. It will focus on these key critical issues and more, probing organisations’ responses to our rapidly evolving workplaces.
