Business Essentials Series: People, Culture and Innovation

The Business Essentials Webinar Series is designed to provide business owners with a range of resources to encourage business resilience, innovation and recovery through this current economic environment.

Each session is co-hosted by expert guest speakers who will deep dive on topics such as finance, strategy, employment and digital.


Session Three - People, Culture and Innovation

During this time of change and uncertainty, how can businesses best work with their employees to promote a culture of innovation?

Business-as-usual has changed. You may have staff now working from home, or you may be trying to pivot or change the roles and responsibilities of your employees by up-skilling or re-purposing. Either way, it is important that you try and maintain regular and transparent conversations with your most important asset, your people.

The Jobkeeper allowance has ensured that many employees have an opportunity to retain valued staff during this time of social isolation, and in this Webinar we explore the opportunity for employers to embrace change with intent and start planning for a stronger business on the other side of this crisis.
