Best Companies Live Q1 2022 - Our first look at League Tables!

Welcome and The Climate Crisis

Join us as we kick off February’s Best Companies Live event with one of the most pressing topics of our time: the climate crisis.

Our host, Dan, will introduce the day’s agenda before getting into discussion with our panellists to understand why the Earthshot Prize, COP26 summit, and Blue Planet movement have been catalysts for both conversation and action in the workplace.

We’ll look at how making organisational commitments to protect the planet can help not only contribute to achieving environmental goals, but also to increase engagement within the workplace.

Leadership in a Changing World

What are the hallmarks of great leadership in a changing world? That’s one of the questions Dan will be putting to the panellists in this not-to-be missed session.

With each panellist chosen for their unique circumstances, we’ll hear their own perspectives on what aspects of leadership have helped them achieve success in challenging times and, crucially, how they managed the impact on their employees.

We’ll be discussing examples, best practice, and key take - aways that will inspire you to use some of their leadership tactics in your business.

Attracting & Retaining Talent

With the ‘great resignation’ seeing more employees than ever choose to move on from their roles, just what is the best tactic for recruiting and retaining talent in the current climate?

Join Dan as he speaks to some of the organisations that are leading the way in their approach to catching the eye of the jobseeker, through to unique onboarding practices and how they are adopting new, innovative ways of engaging and developing employees to ensure they are a creating a workplace culture that people don’t want to leave.

Managing the Impact of Fatigue

After a constant battle with change and disruption in many employees’ personal and professional lives, the rise of burnout and the effect of fatigue is a reality that some are now facing.

Wellbeing – and the importance of mental, and physical, health – is still high on the agenda for many organisations, but what happens when the level of support needs to go from short or mid - term intervention to long - term strategy?

In this session, Dan will speak with panellists to understand the approaches they’ve taken to look after their employees at all levels and how the measures taken have been received by their people and impacted on engagement.

Flexibility that Works for Everyone

If any question is likely to draw a diverse pool of answers, it’s “what would be your ideal working arrangement?”

From those who crave the inclusivity of the office and others who prefer a solely home - based approach right through to the many who prefer a hybrid option somewhere in -between, deciding just what level of flexibility works for everyone is a challenge many organisations are currently facing.

Join us as we hear from a panel of guests who have decided on their future working approach and share insight into how they came to the decision – and why it works for them.
