The Chief Executive of the Great Place to Work® Institute, Inc. is hosting this seminar, and using ideas from some of their award winning member organisations, will lead an interactive workshop to provide takeaway suggestions on Best People Practices.

The focus is on sharing Best Practice in the following areas:
 Creating a Great Place to Work®
 Work-Life Balance
 Unique Benefits
 Leadership Behaviour

The institute is a research and management consultancy based in the U.S. with International Affiliate offices throughout the world. Its UK’s “Best Workplaces” list is published annually in the National Press Best Workplaces Special Report, carried in the Financial Times and the Guardian newspapers, amongst others.

The underlying concept behind the list is that by congratulating and highlighting best practice, other organisations will recognise the benefits of becoming a great workplace, gain an understanding of how to work towards this goal and ultimately be encouraged to follow suit. This in turn will improve the daily lives of employees throughout the UK.
