Elizabeth Michael’s HR Consultant, Steve Richardson is working with the UK Work Organisation Network, seeking the involvement of medium to large organisations in the East Midlands in a new learning network focussing on the identification of workplace practices that enhance organisational versatility, employee engagement and sustainable ways of working, which contribute to the resilient business. There will be an initial stage of diagnostics, followed by a 9 month programme of afternoon forums commencing in November 2010, culminating in a symposium at which representatives of managers and employees will be invited to attend, focusing on practical measures to build organisational and employee resilience. Forums will be facilitated by leading European practitioners and thinkers, followed by informal sharing of experiences and networking.
