In the first two discussions we referred many times to the ability, or more often lack of ability, of managers to have effective conversations with their people. In this episode we dig deeper into the subject and consider what it takes for a conversation to be productive.

In this second programme we talk about reengaging staff after Covid. What impact has COVID had on employee engagement? Some have loved being alone at home working at their own pace.  Others have found the isolation harmful to their mental health.  How does a good manager reunite the workforce and re-establish a productive environment?

In the first programme we consider retention of staff in a candidate favoured economy. We are told that the marketplace for talent is currently starved, and pipelines aren’t looking too promising.  As companies adjust to the disruption of Covid, the aftershock of Brexit and the uncertain economic future, how do you retain quality staff and recruit new talent? What will set you apart and make you the employer of choice?

About this trio of conversations.
