As part of the Fairness, Inclusion and Respect Programme, the annual Inspiring Change Conference has showcased success stories from a wide range of businesses operating in construction and the built environment and people from diverse backgrounds. It has helped deliver the knowledge and insights needed to make a difference to your organization and the working lives of your employees.

This year, we’d planned hold the main conference in May and then follow up on some of the themes and topics with a series of Inspiring Change Bitesize Conferences around the UK. Subject to Government guidelines, we are still hoping to hold the Inspiring Change Conference in London on 10th December, but in the meantime, we are launching the first of our Inspiring Change Bitesize Conferences as a webinar on Wednesday 20th August at 10.00 am.

The first event will focus on Flexible and Agile Working, a recurring theme at the main conference but, this year, when most organisations have been adapting to uncertain circumstances, it is now a very hot topic and many businesses are expected to make significant changes to working patterns and shift to more widespread and regular homeworking.

Join us to be inspired by industry trailblazers in agile and flexible working and learn how they introduced good flexible/agile working practices pre-COVID 19 and how they have adapted to the “new normal”. Hear about legal and safety obligations and how managers can help ensure their approach creates a positive and enabling environment for their team.

Confirmed speakers include:

Dawn Moore, Group People Director, Murphy

Ricky Prett, Senior General Foreman, SCS Mainworks, HS2

Amna Khan, Head of HR, Taylor Wimpey

Eileen Donnelly, Director, Ripple and Co.

Eric Evans and Graham Joyce, DuoMe
