Getting Proactive about Workplace Culture
Mary Buckley & Marie Johnston from Culture by Design
Among the myriad of priorities start-ups and established tech companies must face, workplace culture can often be overlooked. We’ll discuss why taking a proactive approach to workplace culture from an early stage in a business’s life is so beneficial for future success, particularly in the fast-moving tech sector. We’ll also share some practical ideas for how you can begin getting proactive around your workplace culture, regardless of how new or mature your business may be.
Presentation 2:
Employee Experience

Employee Experience – what it is and how to design and execute amazing experiences to attract and retain the best people. This will include the role of technology.
