Skills, people management and productivity in Yorkshire, The Humber and North East

Join us on 28th of January to discuss how good people management practises can contribute to improvements in firms’ productivity and employee wellbeing.

The Yorkshire, Humber and North East Productivity Forum, led by its lead academic partner, Sheffield University Management School, has created an event to bring together business leaders, HR professionals, policymakers and academics, to discuss how good people management practises can contribute to improvements in firms’ productivity and employee wellbeing.

The event will be run as part of National Productivity Week, an initiative led by The Productivity Institute. The Productivity Institute is a UK wide research organisation, funded by the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC), that promotes the importance of productivity by addressing specific regional productivity challenges and identifying emerging opportunities.

Attendees will be able to participate in an interactive industry expert panel debate, exploring the relationship between productivity and people management practices. They will also be able to hear about how the practices of innovative ‘best practice’ firms from across the region have enhanced their business performance.

In addition, the event will discuss how skill needs within the region are changing and what employers, policy makers and others might do to support skills development, increase training activity and promote ‘good work’.

The event  will be a great chance to network with key regional business leaders, HR professionals, policy makers, academics and business support agencies and gain insights into The Productivity Institute's latest research on productivity and skills in Yorkshire, the Humber and North East.
