Upcoming presentations

Some organisations are still trying to enforce strict office mandates, while others are truly embracing flexibility while achieving performance and productivity gains.

Watch this HR Daily Premium webcast to join the ranks of HR practitioners making flexibility 'business as usual' in their organisations, rather than viewing it as a post-pandemic 'trend'.

Catalina Consultants founder Merilyn Speiser will share expert insights and use case study examples to discuss how employers can:

• foster a culture that supports flexible working;
• navigate issues when flexibility options are limited;
• maintain high performance among dispersed teams;
• implement initiatives that build connection;
• create opportunities for knowledge transfer;
• address pushback from executives and line managers; and more.

This session will be pre-recorded, however you are welcome to submit questions in advance via our contact form.
Watching this webcast will count as one CPD hour.
