Attending this workshop, you will be taken through a process of discovery, learning and action that can enable you and your organisation to support environmental, social and governance areas from the inside-out. The aim is to set you off on a sustainability journey by looking at the “impact” you can make individually and as an HR professional within your organisation. The workshop will be interactive, fun, colourful and insightful!
PeopleEX have also kindly condensed what is normally a 2-day workshop into a day to maximise our sustainability exposure and learning.
When registering for this event, please describe in two sentences what your vision is for your organisation relating to sustainability.
