Our HR Manager, Emma Upton will be attending the Rewards, Benefits and Wellbeing Summit in Barcelona on the 7th -8th June.

As a speaker Emma will be sharing her expertise and insights on HR and delving into how to create a unique business culture that draws on your business's strengths to define culture in a hybrid working world.

Presentation Outline

Emma considers the challenges business leaders face in the modern working world where implementing and driving culture cannot always be done face to face in a traditional office environment. This presentation will equip you with practical actions to help unite workforces operating in different locations (including overseas offices and from home), replacing the fear of recruiting remote or hybrid team members with an excitement for the opportunity our modern way of working presents for growth in your business. We’ll talk about the importance of culture and how it can positively impact employee retention, engagement and attraction in a measurable way.
