Much has changed in the last few years. Here are just a few trends:

Employees have become more vocal about their expectations for work life balance; smart and personalised tech is expected as standard by consumers; flexibility is set to become a day 1 right; parents have ongoing worries about educational catch up; childcare has been recognised as part of the infrastructure under the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill while it’s harder for parents to source the care they need. And of course, we can’t unsee all the aspects of family life we saw on camera in the pandemic: employees now bring more of themselves to work.

How can employers leverage the best of technology and the best of people to create a world-class employee experience when it comes to supporting family life?

We’ll hear how different employers are making this work in different ways, whether through onsite nurseries with smart technology keeping parents in touch with their child’s day or globally scaled toolkits for managing parental leave, with real people ready to coach and chat, or networks that combine the best of online and in-person connections.

During this interactive, virtual workshop, you will hear:

• Timely insights into emerging needs and trends from the 2023 Modern Families Index research

• Examples of leading employers’ programmes to support family life using both online and in-person support

• How savvy HR professionals demonstrate Return on Investment from supporting family life in digital and people-led ways

When nearly every HR technology vendor can promise transformational outcomes via their use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), how can leaders distinguish between clever marketing and true business impact?

The difference between empty promises and proven outcomes can be summarised as a vendor’s commitment to “Glass Box” Artificial Intelligence – the ability to clearly show how an algorithm produces a desired, intended result reliably and fairly, through constant validation and routine audits for adverse impact.

Do you want to retain your workforce and build organisational resilience? Then it’s time to start rethinking the traditional career experience.

The pandemic served as a giant reset button for people everywhere.

Studies show that the number of women in senior roles might not be at par with that of men until 2036.
