Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Uspire LIVE - 3rd October 2024, Mission Kitchen, London

Many companies are still figuring out the optimal workplace environments, policies and interactions needed to foster a vibrant culture: particularly the learning and development needs of the younger team members.

  • How do you build an engaged workforce whilst remaining sensitive to the needs of different generations?
  • How do you stitch together a culturally and generationally diverse organisation?
  • How do you harness your younger talent to be agile and forward thinking?

Leaders from across the UK joined Sally Spicer, Mark Francis and the Uspire team at the fabulous Mission Kitchen in London on 3rd October '24, to debate these questions and create a recipe for success in a multi-generational workplace.
