Engaged and motivated employees can make a huge difference to the performance and culture of a practice. If this isn’t treated as a priority, the impact can be costly: low productivity, high staff turnover and a lack of commitment to meet the practice’s business goals.

This practical and interactive workshop explores the key elements for employee engagement with opportunities to share best practice solutions and ideas.
