The HR, Talent & Culture meetup group is in full growth mode. We love London, but are excited about expanding our events to other parts of the UK. Join us for our next meet up, sponsored by hibob and WeWork, in Manchester: The Biggest Secret in HR, Revealed: What’s Really Making Your High Performing Teams So Productive?
We’re all impressed – and more than a little envious – whenever we hear about small teams doing amazing things on a shoestring budget. When Facebook purchased Instagram, the latter only had 13 employees. And today’s largest online retailer, Amazon, didn’t even have the budget to afford a garage.
So, what is Instagram’s and Amazon’s secret sauce for success? And can we pour a healthy dose of it into our workplace environments?
There’s nothing keeping your company from creating high performing teams. There are practical ways to boost productivity and improve your people’s time management skills – without causing them to burn out. In fact, more productive teams tend to be made up of happier team members who are more likely to stick at around at one job for a longer period.
Join us as Sara Duxbury, Business Psychologist, Ben Whitter, Employee Experience Expert, and Viv Parry, Performance Management Expert, discuss how they’ve able to enhance both individual and team productivity for a wide array of organisations.
Network with other professionals in the area, and share ideas and your experiences over drinks and appetizers.
