Book your ticket for our upcoming Leading The Workplace and Workforce Evolution presented by Northumbria University, in association with the North East Chamber of Commerce and NE Times.

Both the workplace and workforce are undergoing seismic shifts. Today’s leaders are seeking to navigate rapid technological innovation, conflicting views on hybrid and flexible working, disparate expectations amongst an age diverse workforce, talent attraction and retention challenges, and an increasing focus on corporate values, individual wellbeing and equitable opportunities for all.

At this event, we’ll explore the issues presented by our constantly changing business environment. Our speakers and panelists will discuss some of the biggest leadership challenges facing organisations today. And we’ll consider the values and skills that are critical for managers, leaders and businesses to thrive.

 

Speakers and Panellists:

  • John McCabe, Chief Executive, North East Chamber of Commerce
  • Dr Helen Charlton, Associate Professor and Head of Executive Education, Newcastle Business School at Northumbria University
