LISTEN This year has been a year that businesses have had to get much closer to their staff, and have done so by being distant from them.
But it has also been a year where the slowdown in business and economic turmoil have meant that many businesses have had to have difficult conversations and slim down their headcounts.
It has been a year where looking after your talent and getting the best from it has never been more important.
In the last of EG’s Tales of the Unexpected podcasts, a series looking at the lessons learnt from the forced changes we have all had to make during the coronavirus pandemic, EG editor Samantha McClary is joined by Kate Jansen van Vuuren, director of organisational development at Willmott Dixon, Chris Keates-Lewis, HR and operations partner at TFT, Robin Panrucker, senior talent development business partner at Taylor Wessing, and Jennifer Howells, head of talent management at JLL, to talk about what we have learnt about our people and what our people have taught us about how to operate our businesses.
