How to achieve Work-Life Balance and High Productivity as Employers

Free live webinar 9th February @11am

The key is in removing the barriers to help people achieve their best at work and at home. Hear insights into how the best employers empower their people and support family life in its widest sense.

With the labour market still tight due to skills shortages, employers compete over the attractiveness of the employee experience. Yet, with rising costs, productivity is at a premium so how do we ensure that what we do to engage and support our people also helps them perform at their best? And in uncertain times, how do we ensure employees feel valued and motivated?

Join this lively conversation, as we discuss:

  • What do the best employers actually do to achieve work-life balance and productivity
  • How should the experience be personalised to different employees’ lives and needs?
  • Gain insights on families’ expectation from the just-published 2023 Modern Families Index
