EXHIBITORS

WELCOME A very warm welcome to our second Employee Engagement Summit. Building on the success of our inaugural Summit last year, today we will examine all aspects of engagement, highlighting the commercial and cultural benefits of organisations taking a holistic and joinedup view of their employee and customer engagement strategies. The Summit will focus firmly on the key issues, challenges and opportunities around engaging our people and includes world class case studies, expert opinion, analysis and high-level networking opportunities.

While CEOs are putting their people and their customer relationships at the top of their business agenda – still not enough of them are really drawing a causal link between the two, and making it part of an overarching business strategy.

In addition to a mouth-watering line up of case study presentations from the likes of Coca-Cola Enterprises, LV=, John Lewis Partnership, Unilever, HSBC, Timpson, ITV and BP, there will also be presentations from a leading edge roster of experts in the field of employee engagement led by Alex Edmans, Professor of Finance at London Business School, who will deliver the opening keynote. Lead chair of the Summit this year is Dr. Melissa Hungerford, VP, Talent and Leadership at Coca-Cola Enterprises.

The signs are that businesses are moving in the right direction, and those who do are enjoying a clear competitive advantage. This Employee Engagement Summit will put a spotlight on those organisations who are getting their employee engagement strategies right.

Research from the Financial Times reveals two of the most important business challenges identified by CEOs are around their people and their customer relationships. There is a growing and irrefutable body of evidence which proves that organisations with engaged and properly directed employees have lower attrition, more engaged customers and as a result gain long-term competitive advantage. Of course the evidence is plain for all to see. The improved business performance and market capitalisation of organisations who deliver great service through their people is now a given – and even those who improve their service from low to average see benefits go straight to their bottom line.

CONTENTS 4 Floor Plan 5 Agenda Summary 6-16 Agenda 19-23 Sponsors 25-27 Exhibitors 29 Partners

The virtuous circle formed by highly engaged, motivated and well directed employees interacting across departments with increasingly sophisticated and demanding digital age customers is the only sustainable way forward and will remain a focal point for our activities. Our Employee Engagement Summit comes as a growing number of organisations are realising the business benefits that accrue when they forge a link between engagement of their employees and their customers – although there is still much work to be done. Our aim is for our delegates to leave this Summit armed with all the tools, techniques and insight they need to implement effective and successful long term employee engagement strategies. Enjoy.

He is Editor of the Review of Finance, a Faculty Research Fellow of the National Bureau of Economic Research, a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research, and a Research Associate of the European Corporate Governance Institute.

COCA-COLA CASE STUDY: ENGAGEMENT IS A CHOICE – WHY AMBASSADORS MATTER Dr. Melissa K. Hungerford, VP, Talent & Leadership, Coca-Cola Enterprises As part of the chair’s opening remarks, Melissa will set the tone for the Summit by sharing her experience linking employee and customer engagement through the lens of choice. Choice is at the heart of engagement. The more empowered and positive we feel about the choice, the stronger the engagement. As employees, we have a choice about our job, how we behave, the company in which we work and how we represent the company. From a customer and consumer perspective, we have a choice in terms of brands, products and services.

09:45

John Timpson, Chairman, Timpson

Dr. Melissa K. Hungerford is currently VP, Talent and Leadership Development for Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE). Melissa has 18+ years of experience and a proven track record in designing and leading end-to-end talent management strategies with a focus on strengthening the leadership and talent pipeline, creating an engaged and high performance culture and offering learning and OD solutions to support the business strategy.

Timpson now has over 1300 branches nationwide with a turnover of £195m and profits of over £15m. It is a private business wholly owned by John Timpson and his family. Timpson is recognised for its innovative work helping exoffenders – it is the UK’s most active employer of people from prison.

John Timpson describes how his company has developed the UK’s biggest service retailer by putting the emphasis on the people who serve their customers. John prides himself on being a maverick and ignores most of the best practice adopted by other companies. It is a business with a caring culture that gives colleagues a wide range of benefits and operates with a social conscience. John describes how he came to develop this individual style of management and why it works. John Timpson was educated at Oundle and Nottingham University. The Timpson family business was taken over in 1973, but 10 years later John led a £42m management buyout. In 1987 he sold the shoe shops and concentrated on building the shoe repairing and key cutting business, which has diversified into engraving, watch repairs, dry cleaning and photo processing.

10:15

Melissa has worked in three other Fortune 500 companies, across a wide-range of industries including retail with The Home Depot, pharmaceuticals with Bristol-Myers Squibb and fast moving consumer goods with The Coca-Cola Company. She has global work experience and has lived overseas, previously in Turkey with Coca-Cola’s Eurasia Africa Group and The Netherlands with Philips.

09:15

Gallup research reveals that productivity and engagement are tightly intertwined and have an immense impact on people’s wellbeing. Yet over the past decade productivity growth has slowed and less than a third of people around the world are fully engaged at work.

THE RETURNS TO EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

This session will be a call to action for HR leaders: how they can increase the capability and impact of their function to improve organisational efficiency, employee involvement and contribute towards the betterment of society as a whole.

Does employee engagement improve firm performance, or instead reflect wasteful expenditure? Even if you could show a correlation between employee engagement and firm performance, how do we know what causes what? Professor Alex Edmans will present the results of a study using 26 years of data to illustrate the business case for employee engagement. Alex Edmans is a Professor of Finance at London Business School. Alex graduated from Oxford University and then worked for Morgan Stanley in investment banking (London) and fixed income sales and trading (New York). After a PhD in Finance from MIT Sloan as a Fulbright Scholar, he joined

TIMPSON CASE STUDY: UPSIDE DOWN MANAGEMENT

For many FMCG companies, employees and shoppers can be one in the same, creating an even closer connection between those who represent the brand and those who choose to consume the brand. Simply put, if employees don’t believe in their own company and products, then how can we expect customers and consumers to? At Coca‐ Cola Enterprises, our employees play a critical role in making, selling and distributing one of the world’s most well‐known brands. Therefore, it is natural that people, from customers and suppliers to family and friends, will ask questions. Having the facts easily accessible is so important. This need resulted in a programme called Ambassador, designed to equip employees with information about our brands and products, from the safety and quality of our ingredients to how we are engaging in the health and wellness debate to our commitment to sustainability and the communities in which we operate, creating a sense of continued pride and passion that is felt within and outside the company.

Peter Flade advises the executive teams of some of the world’s most influential companies on how to increase productivity and improve business results by unleashing the potential of their people. He has helped companies increase the engagement, well-being and productivity of hundreds of thousands of employees. A particular focus is helping companies grow organically through enduring customer relationships built by their employees.

JOINING THE DOTS TO PROVIDE INNOVATIVE EMPLOYEE INSIGHT

Alyson is a Fellow member of the CIPD with an MA in Strategic HR management. Currently studying with the OCM for the Advanced Diploma in Professional Coach Mentoring.

Ghassan Karian, CEO and Founder, Karian And Box Employee surveys can help identify the factors an organisation needs to address, but too often businesses fail to use this intelligence to its full advantage. New and innovative techniques are now being used to help businesses join the dots and obtain richer insights, enabling communications and HR leaders to surgically focus on the factors which will secure improvement employee engagement and performance.

She started her HR career in 2005 as a Divisional Business Partner for Luminar Leisure, before moving onto Selfridges PLC as a dual site Senior HR Manager. Her earlier career as a General Manager served her well to transit into a pragmatic, commercial HR professional. Alyson is a trustee for the charity Dancesyndrome which is an inclusive arts organisation that enables learning disabled individuals to access high quality leadership and development opportunities in order to be more active and visible citizens. By using dance as a vehicle for change, Dancesyndrome provides creative, cultural and social opportunities that increase physical health and personal well-being.

Ghassan Karian will… • Set out the fundamental principles of a new way of sourcing and using employee insight in a way which helps internal, strategic communicators advise their stakeholders. • Share the cutting‐edge techniques available to extract more significant value from employee engagement research. • Demonstrate these key insights in practical terms by using live but anonymised case studies from multinational or US businesses such as BP, HSBC, Greyhound buses, Nordstrom and the Yellow student bus network. Ghassan Karian is CEO and founding partner of Karian and Box and started his career in political campaigns for the UK Labour Party. Subsequently, and for 10 years, he led the engagement efforts as Director of Internal Communications for businesses such as British Gas and Rolls-Royce. Ghassan is recognised as a leading professional in employee engagement, change communications and employee research. He advises business, HR and communication leadership teams on engagement strategy and on providing strategic, actionable insight from employee research.

SOFOLOGY CASE STUDY: AGILE HR STRATEGIES THAT ENGAGE SOFOLOGISTS & ACCELERATE BUSINESS GROWTH Alyson Fadil, People Director, Sofology From a traditional furniture bricks and mortar retailer, to a new, fresh, contemporary Omni‐channel shopping experience, that turns sofa retailing on its head. A flexible and agile People strategy is critical to its success. Engagement is at the heart of the strategy building an engaged workforce that supports business growth. This engagement radiates through to our customers who are crucial to the measurement of a Sofologist’s success. Measuring engagement through our Sofologists, our customers and our suppliers. Alyson Fadil joined Sofaworks (formally CSL) in July 2012 as HR Director. Her role is responsible for leading its 1000 Sofaworkers through a transformational change programme that turns sofa retailing on its head.

Alyson has a keen interest in assisting young school leavers into the world of work and thus is a volunteer for Inspiring the Future which is an organisation that links schools and colleges with business ambassadors. She is an elite member of the North West Employee Engagement Group and a popular HR blogger.

FACING UP TO SOME AWKWARD TRUTHS ABOUT EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT: AN EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH Rob Briner, Professor of Organisational Psychology, University of Bath Employee engagement is now well‐established as a central idea and technique for managing and motivating people. Engagement is intuitively plausible and has created much excitement and activity. However, the answers to many key questions about engagement represent awkward truths which the HR community has been slow to address. Here I will consider several of these questions and their implications for practice including: What does employee engagement mean? Can it be clearly defined and measured? Is it anything new or different? How good is the evidence linking engagement to performance? And what can we be doing to increase engagement? Rob Briner was appointed Professor of Organisational Psychology at the School of Management, University of Bath in 2011 and previously worked at Birkbeck College, University of London for 19 years after completing his PhD at the MRC/ESRC Social and Applied Psychology Unit (now the Institute of Work Psychology). His research has focused on several topics including well-being, emotions, stress, ethnicity, the psychological contract, absence from work, motivation, work-nonwork and everyday work behaviour. Beyond academic research and teaching Rob is passionate about helping practitioners and organisations make better use of evidence, including research evidence in decisionmaking as well as encouraging academics to make research more accessible. He has written for and presented to practitioners on many aspects of HR and organisational

psychology. He is now involved in many initiatives aimed at developing and promoting Evidence-Based organisational psychology and management. He published some of the first papers on evidence-based organisational psychology and HR in 1998 and has since written many more including a contribution to the Oxford Handbook of Evidence-Based Management and the SIOP journal Industrial and Organisational Psychology. He frequently presents to practitioners and runs training courses on how practitioners can practice in a more evidence-based way through searching for, collecting and critically analysing evidence directly relevant to organisational problems and decisions. He is also a founding member, Scientific Director and on the Academic Board of the Center for Evidence-Based Management (http://www.cebma.org/). In 2015 he was named Second Most Influential Thinker by HR Magazine.

As the Executive Director for Engage for Success, I engage and energise audiences around business change, leadership and innovation. I passionately believe that helping people find a better way to work can make a big difference to people’s lives, their organisations and ultimately to the country. Engage for Success is a social movement committed to releasing the capabilities of employees to improve performance, instigate growth and enhance wellbeing. It operates across the public, private and third sectors and enjoys significant Government support. As director for Engage for Success, I have wide ranging experience across the public, private and third sectors in raising awareness and providing practical guidance to organisations looking to improve employee engagement. With a background in delivering strategic transformation programmes for a FTSE 100 company, I recognise the importance of values, good management practices, authentic leadership and the ability to listen in creating environments where people can bring the best of themselves to work every day.

INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS & THE VOICE OF THE EMPLOYEE 12:15

ITV CASE STUDY: WHO OWNS ENGAGEMENT? WE ALL DO… Nicole Dempster, Internal Communications Director, ITV Plc

12:55

There is often much debate about who owns engagement in an organisation. Nicole talks about how engagement is really a collective ownership and shows the levels of engagement that can be achieved when different functions work together towards a common goal.

Francis Goss, Commercial Director, Grass Roots Organisations that have high levels of employee engagement listen to their employees and act on their feedback. Employee voice is one of the key enablers of employee engagement, but it is also a potential cause of disengagement. Employees become increasingly cynical when they see no action taken as a result of their feedback, especially when leaders celebrate an “improvement in our engagement scores”.

Nicole Dempster started her career as a professional musician, before moving into the world of internal communications. She has set up or led the internal communications functions at three major media organisations: Channel 4 Television, Guardian News & Media and ITV, which she joined in 2013. She has also led the internal communications team for Europe, Middle East and Africa at the InterContinental Hotels Group.

Francis Goss, Director Trustee of Engage for Success and Commercial Director at Grass Roots will explore some of the common pitfalls of employee surveys and provide some tips on how to ensure that your employee voice strategy increases rather than decreases employee engagement.

Nicole’s expertise includes change management, crisis communication and employee engagement. She has a keen interest in the changing role of internal communications and its role in driving cultural change and bringing the strategy and brand to life. She is passionate about developing and coaching high performing teams who play a central strategic role in driving engagement in the workplace.

Francis Goss is Commercial Director at Grass Roots and a Director Trustee of the Engage for Success Foundation, the UK’s Taskforce on Employee Engagement. Francis works with organisations on the design and implementation of employee engagement strategies aligned to the four enablers of engagement. Francis holds an honours degree in Law and a Diploma in Motivation from the IPM and has addressed audiences on employee engagement best practice including The House of Commons HR Team and the Hellenic Institute of Customer Service in Athens.

She was named one of Melcrum’s top five ‘Communication Heroes’ for her work at Guardian News & Media and won a major internal team award for her role in crisis management during the Arab Spring at the InterContinental Hotels Group.

Prior to that Lesley held senior HR leadership roles with organisations such as PepsiCo.

TALENT & RECRUITMENT, INCLUDING SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT 14:15

SOCIAL AND COLLABORATIVE COMMUNICATION Nupur Mallick, Director, HR, TCS UK & Ireland Tata Consultancy Services’ Enterprise Social Network is a platform that connects over 340,000 employees around the world on one online forum.

Lesley has worked with clients across a wide range of sectors (financial services, retail, utilities, media, telecommunications and public sector), and geographies. She has led talent strategy and process projects in both the public and private sectors for clients such as NHS London, Sainsbury’s, Sony Ericsson and National Grid. She has developed leadership and talent criteria across an equally diverse set of clients including Anglo-American, Tate and Lyle and Time Warner.

It is designed to revolutionise the way in which employees communicate with one another, connect and share knowledge. It aims to make public communication the norm – through blog posts, communities and message boards – in place of private communications such as email to unleash innovation and creativity.

Over recent years, Lesley has led and co-authored six substantial pieces of research into talent management. This research has made a significant contribution to the understanding of what organisations need to do to truly embed enduring talent management processes and address the talent challenges they face in a volatile business environment.

It seeks to provide opportunities for discovering new information and ideas, and to create a community out of the global workforce and leverage wisdom of the crowd. Since its launch, it has proved effective in communicating with employees, connecting them, identifying talent through user generated communities and crowd sourcing solutions to innovation challenges. With over 280,000 active users, 10,000 communities, and 1.2 million posts in 2015 alone, the network has transformed ways of communication and working for TCS and its employees. Nupur Mallick has been with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) for 19 years and in December 2005 she was appointed HR Director for UK & Ireland. In this role Nupur is responsible for the end to end HR function for over 11,000 employees from 39 nationalities. Her areas of expertise include integrating teams in culturally diverse set-ups, driving operational excellence, retaining and developing talent and structuring compensation & benefits. Her excellent people and change management skills have helped TCS grow substantially in the geography under her leadership, TCS UK & Ireland has achieved the ‘Investor in People’ certification and retained the Gold status for the second time and awarded Britain’s Top Employers for five consecutive years.

HAS WORK LOST ITS MEANING? ADDRESSING INCONGRUITIES AT WORK TO INVIGORATE PEOPLE AND ORGANISATIONS Dr. Maretha Prinsloo, Psychologist, Consultant, Managing Director, Cognadev The Human Resources industry faces many disruptors, all of which have resulted in incongruities at work. These challenges require innovative responses to contextualise talent. By leveraging new approaches to the assessment and development of people, work can become meaningful again.

Lesley Uren, Partner, People and Talent, PA Consulting Group

Dr. Maretha Prinsloo, Managing Director, is a registered psychologist who has worked extensively in the fields of psychotherapy, psychometric test development, people assessment and development, cognitive development, project management, research and development, organisational transformation, community development and business. She is the founder of Cognadev which she has led since 1994. The business has provided assessment and development solutions to approximately 1000 corporate clients and independent consulting groups globally.

We all know that highly engaged, talented individuals deliver real competitive advantage – but how do organisations ensure they focus their limited resource on those individuals who really make a difference? How do we go beyond defining talent as the “top 250” to identify, develop and engage the critical, value creating individuals? Drawing on PA Consulting’s extensive body of talent research and client case studies, Lesley will explain how you segment your talent in order to get closer to the customer.

She has developed several assessment and development products including the Cognitive Process Profile (CPP), the Learning Orientation Index (LOI), the Motivational Profile (MP), the Value Orientations (VO), the Contextualised Competency Mapping (CCM) tool, the volume assessment system, Cliquidity and a range of corporate and educational development programmes focusing on cognition, emotional intelligence, creativity and values. She has published several articles in peer reviewed journals on the topics of consciousness, leadership assessment and cognition.

ADAPTIVE LEARNING – A WIN WIN FOR EVERYBODY Bill Parker, Business Development Manager, Qnnect

15:20

HOMESERVE CASE STUDY: MAXIMISING TECHNOLOGY – DRIVING EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

As enterprises face new challenges in how to implement learning technologies, Bill Parker takes a look at the benefits of an adaptive learning environment.

Vatsana Gordon, Head of Workforce Management, Homeserve

Discover how the new generation of learning and connected employees are changing the landscape in people management, communications, learning and development.

The contact centre has historically been seen as a necessary expense to any organisation and for many years the objective was to make centres more cost efficient. Many strategies have been adopted over the years, but more recently there has been a shift in perception of the contact centre and now it is clear that it is, in fact, the heart of the customer experience. At HomeServe there is an ongoing journey to nurture an innovation culture and drive employee engagement. Vatsana Gordon, Head of Workforce Management, will talk about how the business has gathered feedback from its employees. This process, driven by a clear strategy to cultivate a customer service culture, identified the need for a technology refresh. Vatsana will show how maximising the use of the WFM will have a tangible effect on culture and employee engagement.

Step forward real‐life adaptive learning – where training and learning is flexible, engaging and progressive. Where employee engagement and active coaching are commonplace business values. From beginning a new role to all‐of‐career training, and from knowledge retention with interactive learning to new in‐context training techniques using ‘any device’ technologies, learn how to embrace the new ways of learning and development with gamification, communication and peer‐to‐peer coaching. Bill Parker believes that learning should never stop and should be adapted to how an individual learns best. As someone who went straight into work after school and has since spent 30 years working in executive roles in the US and Europe, always learning and developing, he believes technology has helped to pave the way to adaptive learning.

Vatsana Gordon, graduate of Liverpool John Moores University, has worked in the contact centre industry for over 15 years for organisations such as Vodafone, British Gas and Capita. In that time she has seen a number of changes in the industry and significantly, the drive towards employee engagement and how it leads to greater customer excellence. Currently at HomeServe as Head of WFM for the Service Operations division, she oversees the Resource Planning for the claims call centre, back office, 3rd party contractor network, internal field engineers and the deployment centre.

FUTURE OF WORK 16:40

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF YOUR FUTURE EMPLOYEES Lucy Standing, Vice Chair, Association For Business Psychology We hear a lot about the future of work – the technological advances which are coming on line and the jobs which will be threatened. Whilst technology evolves, can the same be said of the employees who will be affected? Will your employees adapt as quickly to the changes going on around them? As leaders who shape and influence how organisations engage with their employees, this session is going to consider the fundamentals – what are the basics which drive engagement and motivation at work and will this stay the same in the future? I could tell you all the letters I have after my name or about the projects I’ve managed or clients I’ve had – but I don’t believe you care about any of that. If you are reading my profile (thank you) then I’d like this time to be more usefully employed.

AGENDA HALL 1 I’m a business psychologist (same as occupational, organisational or industrial) which means you’d work with me if you believe your organisation could achieve more through its people – but maybe you aren’t quite sure how.

ENGAGING THE WORKFORCE THROUGH TEAM INITIATED JOB CRAFTING Dr. Giles McClelland, Division Leader of Business, Economics and International Business, University of Central Lancashire Job crafting is a self‐initiated behaviour in which individuals or teams change aspects of the work to make the work more meaningful. Collaborative job crafting is associated with higher employee engagement and team performance. Call centre supervisors and managers need to be aware of the potential benefits of collaborative crafting to ensure it is not inhibited by their behaviours. As positive consequences are associated with collaborative crafting, organisations should consider ways to enhance the collaborative crafting capability of teams. Dr. Giles McClelland is Division Leader of Business, Economics and International Business at the University of Central Lancashire. Previous to following a career in academia Giles coordinated the market intelligence and research strategy for the CallNorthWest project. Giles’ research interests are firmly located in the field of Industrial/Organisational Psychology. In particular, team effectiveness. His most recent study on how call centre teams proactively adjust aspects of their work to create more meaningful experiences was published in the Journal of Organisational and Occupational Psychology.

INSPIRATIONAL PRESENCE: THE ART OF ENGAGEMENT Dr. Amanda Potter, Managing Director, Zircon Management Consulting This session will look at the concept of Inspirational Leadership and Executive Presence and will start to uncover the critical elements of how Inspirational Presence impacts the leaders’ ability to engage their people. The concept of Inspirational Leadership is fascinating and has been a topic of interest for many years, with researchers suggesting that Inspirational Leaders have no need to impress or flex their power or position in order to gain control. Executive Presence is less well researched and until now, even less well defined. Most people agree that we ‘know’ when someone has Executive Presence but we can’t necessarily define it. The Zircon team interviewed 196 leaders from a diverse mix of companies to understand how to define Executive Presence and Inspirational Leadership, asking whether they were linked and, most significantly, whether they are critical for leadership and business success. This research has been invaluable in defining the critical success factors for managers and leaders in a business environment. This interactive session will delve into the engaging concept of Inspirational Presence. We ask for people’s opinions on which characteristics make up Executive Presence and Inspirational Leadership; examples of leaders who have it; and the value that they bring, if any, to engaging the modern organisation. We also examine the methods that could be used to assess the extent to which leaders are inspirational and have presence.

SAY “YES” TO THE MESS – DE ‘THINGIFYING’ EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT Steve Chapman, Chief Adventurer, CSS Change & Creativity

ISOS HOUSING GROUP CASE STUDY: EINSTEIN RELOADED – THE PHYSICS OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

‘Thingification’ is the biggest threat to organisational transformation and employee engagement in modern organisations. It is only by treating our organisations less as things and more as complex patterns of human relating that we can truly begin to engage our employees in a way that is more lively, exciting and innovative. In this highly interactive session, Steve will explore what it means to engage our employees in a more spontaneous and creative way and the particular type of psychological and social permission that is required to enable cultures in which employee’s creative spirit can thrive.

Jennifer Flint, Group Assistant Director, People, Isos Housing Limited In 2010 Isos Housing underwent a transformational change programme to create a single, consolidated business and position the business for further growth, following a rapid series of mergers and acquisitions. Within five years Isos grew from £42 to £86 million turnover and staff engagement increased from 56% to 91%, with Isos becoming a Gold Investor In People and a Sunday Times Top 100 employer.

Steve Chapman is fascinated by human beings, how they interact, fall out, make up, change and create stuff together. Before becoming an independent consultant, speaker, writer and coach he spent over 20 years in the corporate world, his last role being Director of Leadership and Organisation Development for a large global blue chip. It was during this time that he became intrigued by the difference between what is supposed to happen in organisations versus what actually happens. He started to notice how many of the unquestioned corporate traditions (such as strategy, structure, change management, governance, meetings etc.) actually constrained the very things that organisations need to survive and thrive in the future – imagination, creativity, spontaneity and innovation. He decided to dedicate his work to making sense of all of this and transformed his corporate career into creative adventure.

Key to this success was inspiring staff through a winning formula of igniting energy, momentum and connection. It began by creating an exciting new purpose and vision and gathered pace through an imaginative campaign that engaged everyone in helping to make Isos the North’s leading housing organisation. The result: staff engagement, squared. Jennifer Flint is a chartered Member of the CIPD with nineteen years experience in a variety of HR, L&D and OD roles in different sectors. She is currently the Group Assistant Director People for Isos, a regional housing association that provides affordable homes for sale and rent. She leads three teams – Organisation Development, Communications & Marketing and Health & Safety – who help to build the brand, make Isos a brilliant place to work and deliver the purpose of making people’s lives better every day. Current projects • Engaging staff and managers in developing a revised set of corporate values to support the new Group following a period of growth. • Delivering a five year Communications and Marketing strategy which aims to position Isos as a leader for social impact, regionally and nationally, and as an authentic voice for affordable housing. • Developing a Reward and Recognition strategy to support Isos’s 2020 vision. • Delivery of a five year Health, Safety and Wellbeing Strategy. Jennifer is particularly interested in… • The importance of stepping into vulnerability in order to become an inspirational leader. • Nurturing an organisational culture of innovation by developing resilience and creativity. • The link between internal organisational culture and external brand management. • Using Myers Briggs as a tool for personal and team development.

Steve has worked with a wide variety of clients in a broad range of sectors helping them through times of change and developing their own creative and innovative spirit. He has worked with companies in various sectors, including airlines, telecoms, pharmaceuticals, energy, FMCG, engineering, retail, utilities, digital, financial services, design/creative agencies, academia, trade union, local government and charities. He holds an MSc with distinction in Organisational Change from Ashridge Business School where he returns as visiting faculty to talk about organisational change, creativity and innovation.

But without getting to grips with its DNA, even the best employer can’t hope to bring out the best in its people or capitalise on the diversity of its talent base. That’s why Qualtrics, the world’s leading insight platform, asked 6,500 employees in 14 countries what they thought about work. How happy they are in their professions and what motivates them most?

If education was never effective at knowledge transfer, and knowledge transfer was never the way to change behaviour – how would we go about improving performance? Do we need to think harder about learning elimination? Did you get a manual with your last technology purchase? Did you read it? What if we had SatNav for everything? Could technology build your organisational capability whilst simultaneously reducing the need for individual capability? Could we do this for areas like leadership? Could we radically improve employee engagement through wearable leadership guidance systems?

Hector Venegas, CEO, Swarmworks The desired outcome of meetings and events can have different objectives. It might be learning, informing, motivating or networking or even all of those. What they all have in common though, is the fact that it is people gathering for a certain purpose. So how can we make sure to achieve those desired outcomes? The Meetovation concept from VisitDenmark considers the active involvement of the delegates as one of the pillars of a successful meeting or event. SwarmWorks has developed different methods to do exactly that:

Nick Shackleton-Jones started his career as a psychology lecturer, developing an interest in technology which brought him into the world of corporate learning. Before joining BP in December 2010 as Director, Online & Informal Learning Nick worked for the BBC where he was also responsible for online & informal learning.

WHY ENGAGING YOUR WORKFORCE THROUGH SPORT IS HEALTHY FOR BUSINESS John Butcher, Corporate Manager, Business Solutions, Decathlon UK

I have worked for over thirty years for the John Lewis Partnership, a food and non food £10bn retail business, employing 90,000 Partners, which has a successful history and an exciting future operating within the context of employee ownership. Since 2012 I have been a Main Board Director, reporting to the Chairman and with current experience of the Risk and Audit, Remuneration and CSR sub committees. As a board director, I spend time understanding the nature and context of the commercial world in which we operate and shaping business strategy accordingly.

Today 57% of the UK workforce are not engaged at work by their employers. Companies across the UK are trying to find ways to increase productivity, reduce absenteeism and boost satisfaction as well as retain talent and lower stress. Culture and engagement was rated as the number 1 issue for HR leaders not only in the UK but also across the globe – so the problem facing business owners is clear, but how can employers tackle this in an environment where costs are always challenged?

My current role is to assimilate information and insight, raise issues and facilitate debate to ensure the Board and the executive think holistically and practically across all aspects of the business from the perspective of all employees as coowners (employees are all effectively the shareholders), and successfully delivers agrees strategic initiatives in a manner that takes full account of the Partnership’s enduring seven principles.
