“It was so good to see old friends, customers and partners at HR + L&D Innovation & Tech Fest this week… MORE HUMAN F2F CONNECTION for me please!!”
Catriona Malcolm, Enterprise Design Practice Lead, Westpac Group
“Last week I had the privilege to speak at the HR L&D Innovation & Tech Fest… Highlights included: Nadine Champion encouraged all of us to use 10 seconds of courage to try new things and make a difference...
Dean Summlar from Schneider Electric and Anish Singh from Unilever shared their experience in implementing a talent marketplace…
Libby Sander from Bond University, Aaron McEwan from Gartner and Tracey L Taylor from Transport NSW spoke about hybrid working and culture…
Anish also talked about Unilever’s test and learn with a 4-day week in NZ which is being rolled out in Australia and NextWork. Again, encouraging employees to focus on outcomes and hone their skills for now and into the future.
Aligning to the talk about outcomes and development, Brett Archer from SBS talked about using a strengths-based approach to personal, team and company growth.
Michelle Ockers launched the new L&D Playbook for Engaging Busy Managers. A great resource for L&D to support managers with practical plays. If L&D are going to succeed in supporting employees to develop the skills they need now and for the future, we need to help managers to support learning as part of everyday work.
It was a great conference, and a great opportunity. I hope to be back next year.”
A huge THANK YOU to our Speakers, Industry Titans and Advisory Team! See you next November!
