A great employee experience is crucial in competing in the race for talent, particularly in the talent short market that we’re all experiencing. With people central to the success of an organisation now and into the future, the stakes are high.

In this session, we’ll delve into the ways in which we can supercharge our employee experience from beginning to end across the employee lifecycle, identifying those moments that matter to design and execute an impactful and meaningful experience our employees. We’ll explore what it means to be truly employee-centric, the role of employee listening, and how we can translate this into the experiences we create for our people.

The world has become a more complex place, and as part of that, we’re demanding more of our leaders than ever before. Employees’ expectations of their leaders have fundamentally changed, and good leadership is critical in achieving growth as an organisation. So, what does this new age of leadership look like, and what does this mean for how we should be developing our leaders and future leaders?

In this session, we’ll explore how the expectations of leaders are shifting in line with new ways of working, what the new capability mix looks like leaders into the future, and how we can support our leaders in leading the organisation ethically and in line with the expectations of employees.

People are central to the success of an organisation, and because of this, people metrics have a great deal of visibility at the board. But how can we think more strategically as a function, and put together a people plan that talks to the board and is linked to the business objectives and commercial strategy of the organisation in an era of exponential change?

In this panel, we’ll be joined by esteemed HR leaders as they discuss how we can become more of a strategic partner to the business and the board, and what our priorities should be when putting together a people plan that is linked to the commercial strategy of the business, from the employee experience we deliver to whether or not we have the right people with the right capabilities to deliver on that strategy.

In order for businesses to secure, retain and grow the best talent, it’s no longer enough for organisations to be diverse in nature; they need to be truly inclusive in order to create a sense of belonging among their employees. Employees need to feel seen, heard and fully accepted from the very beginning of their journey with the organisation. And that starts with the culture we create in our organisations.

In this session, we’ll hear from Corporate Anthropologist, Michael Henderson, who will challenge the way we think about culture, and will share how we create and leverage our culture as an organisation to cultivate a sense of connection and belonging, particularly in an increasingly remote and hybrid working world.

With advancements in technology, a greater focus on employee listening and sentiment, and with the shift to hybrid and remote working, we have more data than ever on the people in our organisation. So how do we leverage the power of people analytics to drive business strategy and create greater competitive advantage?

In this panel, join leading people analytics experts as we discuss the place and role of people analytics within our organisations, and how we can better leverage people analytics to solve business problems, measure impact, inform business strategy and support and develop the workforce of the future.

In a talent short market, the way you position your organisation as an employer and ensuring this is translated in the lived experience of the employee is critical in securing and retaining the best talent to set your organisation up for success in the years to come.

This session will look at what’s new and important in the age of the EVP, from culture, recognition and talent opportunities through to sustainability and purpose before exploring how we can create and track an impactful and meaningful EVP that translates across the whole organisation.
