Employee engagement in the pandemic era at digital Leicester Business Festival

The world has been transformed by the COVID-19 pandemic, with businesses experiencing unexpected challenges. Since lockdown started, many businesses have found themselves with a remote workforce, using technology instead of office space. While many employees have adapted to working from home, not everyone has enjoyed the distance from colleagues.  

Those in charge of employee engagement are experiencing the challenge of making sure 'the door is always open', even when there is no door. We’re returning to the Leicester Business Festival on November 3rd 2020, to delve into how you can adapt your approach in the pandemic era. 

Today’s workforce needs to know that their needs are being considered. Our digital event will cover how to understand how your teams feel and what their concerns are – which could be wildly different from their previous experiences. We’ll focus on the unique issues facing us in 2020 and offer practical, realistic solutions. 

Leicester Business Festival has gone virtual for 2020. While that means we miss out on some tasty food and in-person networking, it also means you get involved without leaving the comfort of your own home (or office), even if you're not local. So, get your slippers on and have a cup of tea at the ready. 

We’ll be going live from 9:30am on Tuesday 3rd November, with leading employee engagement experts joining us to share their own experience and expertise.
