Employee Engagement Summit 2019
Thursday, 28 March 2019 @ 9:00 am - 4:30 pm
£449.00 – £499.00
Employee engagement is not a new concept. There is a wealth of case studies, best practice and evidence supporting its impact on driving productivity, collaboration, wellbeing, innovation and the bottom-line.
There are however changing circumstances that consistently require organisations to review and benchmark the way that they view and manage employee engagement. The 14th Annual Employee Engagement Summit 2019 will provide an understanding of the latest research, data and thought leadership on successfully engaging employees in the workplace.
We will hear from organisations who will share key insights into how they are leading the way through engaging their employees and effective reward strategies and best practice for 2019.
