As mentioned in our previous announcement post, Edays will again be attending UNLEASH Spring on the 24th & 25th of March, we will be located on Stand 307. Not only are we looking forward to talking to all of you, we are really excited to listen to the various HR thought leaders that are speaking throughout the event. With over 120+ speakers at the event, it will be nigh on impossible to attend them all!
But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We have compiled a list of 5 talks that are essential for any HR professional to attend.
Wellbeing Conversations: How to make them happen
Workplace wellbeing is becoming more and more prominent in HR with factors such as culture, environment and benefits all playing their part in driving the concept within organisations. But, according to research, the #1 influence on workplace wellbeing is the line manager relationship.
What enhances this relationship is good quality wellbeing conversations, but the problem is many line managers harbour a lot of fear about these conversations and often don’t know what a good wellbeing conversation looks like.
Join Becky Thoseby and find out how she introduced some simple, structure and practical guidance on wellbeing conversations that both line managers and employees can use to have an action-focused discussion.
Tuesday, March 24th: 14:30 – 15:15, Room 2
