Engage for Success Wales Conference Live Today on Business News Wales

Engage for Success Wales in association with Business News Wales presents ‘Engaging Leadership’: a series of five individual conversations starting today at 9.30am on Business News Wales.

The 2020 Engage for Success Wales conference will explore each of the four enablers of employee engagement through the lens of the goals of the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act Wales.

Events will consider links between:

  • Leadership and employee engagement
  • Leadership and delivering on the wellbeing goals
  • Leadership and building better in Wales and
  • Exploring how we can continue to support those in leadership roles as they nurture higher engagement levels as we ‘build better’

Conversation One: Leadership that builds an engaging strategic narrative
