Event Details
Overview
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of agile working at our brand new event, ‘Agile working: promoting health, productivity and flexibility’.
This free, day-long event will take you on a journey through the core principles and challenges of managing an agile workforce. It will be delivered in three parts:
Part 1 - A day in the life of an agile worker
Speakers: Scott Bottomer & Katharine Metters
Bios: Scott has worked for Posturite for eight years covering the Scotland territory. Previously he has held roles as an assessor, account manager, and now as a key account manager. He currently also leads the agile working team within Posturite and has overseen the development of agile working offerings throughout the company.
Katharine is a Member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, holds a Masters Degree in Ergonomics and is a Chartered Member of the Institute of Safety and Health. This unique combination of qualifications, together with her vast range of experience working within healthcare, food, retail and utility sectors, enables Katharine to offer a very broad based range of training, education and health & safety management in the workplace.
Part 2 - Training a workforce on the move
Speaker: Ryan Church
Bio: Prior to joining Posturite, Ryan spent three years as a personal trainer and a further three in the telecoms industry. This gave him a sound understanding of both the human body and the various technologies that can be found in the marketplace, all of which can be closely related to the products and services provided by Posturite’s WorkRite division. His role now is primarily to ensure our customers understand the features and benefits of our suite of e-learning courses and systems.
Part 3 - Agile working wearable techonolgy
Speaker: Ed Butler, DorsaVi

With expert knowledge of using wearable sensor technology to monitor and track changes to posture throughout the day or during a specific task, Ed will introduce this growing industry and discuss the advantages of using this technology to understand how a workforce sits and moves throughout the day.
Part 4 - Legal considerations around agile working
Speaker: Joanne Bell & Michelle Jenkins, DAC Beachcroft
Bios: Joanne Bell is Head of Knowledge and Learning for the Employment and Pensions Group (“EPG”). Her role includes providing sector specific updates to clients and to the EPG on legal developments and their business impact, as well as maintenance of the Group’s knowledge bank and precedents. She is also responsible for the training and development programme for the lawyers in the team.
Michelle advises a wide range of employers on all aspects of employment law and HR practice. Michelle has advised on large scale reorganisations (project managing collective redundancies and changes to terms and conditions), senior management exits and post termination business protection. Michelle also has extensive experience of employment litigation including sensitive multi-day discrimination cases together with HR consultancy (including investigatory work) and delivering training to HR professionals and operational managers.
Alongside these educational talks, you will be provided with lunch, refreshments and a mini exhibition featuring some of our core agile working products. The exhibition is a fantastic opportunity for you to see and try out many of the products you may have seen online, including sit-stand desks, ergonomic chairs and ergonomic accessories for tablets and laptops. Our experts will be on-hand to answer any questions you have about agile working or anything else related to workplace health, happiness and productivity - plus you’ll be able to take home many free resources, including advice sheets, posters and flyers.
