The UK and Ireland Employee Engagement Conference is happening this week and The HR Gazette team will be there for the big event! Uniquely placed as the only event in Europe to bring together award winning & shortlisted entries all in one room, attendees get the chance to learn from best-in-class engagement programs across a wide range of companies and sectors.

The event producers claim the one-day conference will help leaders, Talent pros and those within HR TO better understand what pitfalls to avoid and the channels to successful employee engagement practices.
