Organisational Development is more than just having the right learning and development programmes in place for your workforce. It is about creating an operating environment that means your people have the right skills, are in the right roles, and at the right time.
Improving the functioning of individuals, teams and organisations is at the heart of OD. The Leadership and Organisational Development Hub will help to bring OD professionals and teams together from across the sector and beyond, to learn from each other and hear about new approaches within the field.
The hub is free to members of the Housing Quality Network. For more information, contact [email protected]
