At the end of March, we worked once again with the team at TheBusinessDesk.com to deliver a second roundtable that addressed the challenges and opportunities facing professional services leaders in the very much changed world of work! For this roundtable, professional services leaders from Yorkshire led a dynamic and insightful conversation, chaired by Alex Turner, that really highlighted the ways in which professional services leaders are having to adapt and change their strategies and how for those who really understand the issues and solutions, this is an opportunity to drive real change and tangible growth. Thanks to all the panellists for giving their time and their insight! Key themes that came out of the Leeds roundtable include: - The Importance of Prioritizing Employee Engagement: In a world where only 27% have a healthy relationship with work, leaders must focus on fostering dynamic, committed, and motivated teams. - Adapting Management Strategies: Leaders can attract, retain, and stimulate professional talent by acknowledging generational shifts and meeting evolving expectations. - Cultivating Inclusivity: Companies should look to invest in diversity networks, transparency, and flexibility to create an environment where everyone feels valued and connected. - Empowering Leadership: Leadership styles that shift towards collaboration, inclusivity, and skill-focused career progression, effectively engage and empower teams at all levels. - Recruitment Reinvented: Recruitment efforts that emphasise values, diversity, and holistic skill sets are most likely to attract a new generation of talent that is aligned with evolving workplace dynamics. In a rapidly evolving workforce landscape, adaptable leadership and inclusive strategies are key to attracting, retaining, and empowering top talent.
