This event is part of Tomorrow’s Leadership – a high profile programme of events and activities with leading figures from business and other organisations to explore the issues which will shape the agenda for tomorrow’s leaders today – led by CIPD in partnership with Tomorrow’s Company. In our events we discussed how inspiring communication can make the difference between poor performance and delivering lasting success and resilience, how to activate managers to build sustainable engagement and well-being of staff, and what it takes to rebuild trust in the financial services.
