SUMMARY:Promoted Event: Tribero - Why some teams come together to work well . . . and some don’t
DESCRIPTION:The most successful organisations are made up of great teams. Even a company full of individual top performers won’t succeed if those individuals don’t have the ability to work well together. \nBuilding and maintaining trust between team members is no easy task. A team consisting of just a few people brings with it a wide range of individual preferences\, personal values and intrinsic motivations. There will also be a host of different behavioural patterns\, natural tendencies and communication styles that will have an impact on how the team come together. \nIn this webinar we will explore the key characteristics of high performing teams and the paradoxical behaviours that can make or break the team dynamic. \nEven if you can not attend the event sign up anyway and you will receive a recording of the webinar. \nClick the link below and use the code ‘EMN’ in the box provided when registering! \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Affiliate Event: Azets - Event | Planning for succession as well as growth

SUMMARY:Muckle Employment Roadshow – Wednesday 2 November 2022 – Stockton on Tees
DESCRIPTION:Book Now \nIt’s great to be back on the road for this year’s employment roadshow series after an enforced break of a couple of years!  We know from experience that what delegates value most from the sessions that we run are the discussions on the practical application of the law and the opportunity to ask questions.  We also appreciate that the pandemic has meant that people have re-evaluated  what they want from face to face sessions. \nAgainst that background\, we’ve decided to take a slightly different approach to our roadshows this year.  The sessions will concentrate on just one topic “Managing employees with certainty in an  increasingly flexible world” and we will ask you to contribute to the debate and answer some of the questions with us.  Amongst other things we will: \n\nconsider how core UK employment law provisions manage / hinder flexible working arrangements;\nexplain the need for discrimination law principles to be a key consideration in this area;\nthink about the near\, medium and long term future and balancing the needs of the organisation with the wants of their people\, whilst not diluting culture; and\nhow to give some certainty in an increasingly uncertain world.\n\nAs we travel around the North East and Cumbria we will also compile and then share with all delegates a summary of the issues that we discuss and the learnings and views of those that attend\, to help provide a resource which includes the current views and future people management priorities for organisations across the North of England. \nIt would be great if you are able to join us. \nWho should attend? \nOur sessions are ideally suited to all HR professionals\, managers or anyone involved in dealing with employee issues and / or managing people\, within their organisations. \nInterested? \nTo reserve a place please complete the registration form below \nIf you have any queries please contact Neena Reynolds in our events team on 0191 211 7987 or email neena.reynolds@muckle-llp.com \nBook Now

SUMMARY:Muckle Employment Roadshow – Wednesday 12 October 2022\, Newcastle upon Tyne
DESCRIPTION:Book Now \nIt’s great to be back on the road for this year’s employment roadshow series after an enforced break of a couple of years!  We know from experience that what delegates value most from the sessions that we run are the discussions on the practical application of the law and the opportunity to ask questions.  We also appreciate that the pandemic has meant that people have re-evaluated  what they want from face to face sessions. \nAgainst that background\, we’ve decided to take a slightly different approach to our roadshows this year.  The sessions will concentrate on just one topic “Managing employees with certainty in an  increasingly flexible world” and we will ask you to contribute to the debate and answer some of the questions with us.  Amongst other things we will: \n\nconsider how core UK employment law provisions manage / hinder flexible working arrangements;\nexplain the need for discrimination law principles to be a key consideration in this area;\nthink about the near\, medium and long term future and balancing the needs of the organisation with the wants of their people\, whilst not diluting culture; and\nhow to give some certainty in an increasingly uncertain world.\n\nAs we travel around the North East and Cumbria we will also compile and then share with all delegates a summary of the issues that we discuss and the learnings and views of those that attend\, to help provide a resource which includes the current views and future people management priorities for organisations across the North of England. \nIt would be great if you are able to join us. \nWho should attend? \nOur sessions are ideally suited to all HR professionals\, managers or anyone involved in dealing with employee issues and / or managing people\, within their organisations. \nInterested? \nTo reserve a place please complete the registration form below \nIf you have any queries please contact Neena Reynolds in our events team on 0191 211 7987 or email neena.reynolds@muckle-llp.com \nBook Now
