An awards we hope you would agree are a bit different. With 11 categories you’ve never seen before but would love to win, it’s fair to say that they were a roaring success.

  • How to support your line managers.

You’ll leave this session with some bright ideas and things to remember, as Rachel and Caroline will provide insights and knowledge you can apply immediately. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.
