That’s why we have compiled a list of 5 unmissable talks and breakout sessions at this years Cornerstone Convergence that you should definitely attend.
Managing people in uncertain times
With all the complex issues and uncertainty in the world today Liggy will be looking into how HR can best support their workforce during these times. This is definitely a must-attend for businesses that want to enhance their employee wellbeing. Also, if employee wellbeing is something you are looking into, check out our essential guide on the topic.

Driving a culture of self-direct learning
HR should be about empowering employees and allowing them to take control and responsibility for their careers and self-directed learning is the embodiment of this. Employees should be encouraged to take time out for independent learning which will help them achieve their goals and aspirations.

Talent mobility
Leading on from our last pick about empowering employees to take control of their careers, we believe that sometimes the best talent for a new role is already within your business. Gill Raine will be discussing how to make a well-designed mobility process that contributes to employee engagement, retention and development.
If you would like to do some reading around the topic before, we highly recommend you read this talent mobility blog from Deloitte.
