The central importance of culture in shaping how we act within the places we work has been starkly illustrated in recent months. When unacceptable workplace behaviour is caught in the spotlight, it is to culture that our attention turns for solutions. As we emerge from this time of Covid we are presented with renewed opportunities to positively shape the cultures in our organisations.

But what does it take to create lasting positive culture change?

How do we capture the energy generated by the national conversation into potential inflection points and turn the rhetoric into reality?

Join us for a panel discussion to hear from a range of leaders and experts who have a pivotal role in influencing culture in the organisations in which they work.
