Annual Workplace Conference 2009

Modern employers now offer flexibility over how, where and when people work, along with more opportunities to lead sustainable and healthy lives. Employee health and wellbeing makes an essential contribution to business success and increasingly, employers can benefit from a diverse workforce. Business will reap the rewards that come from having more motivated people and will achieve greater success, with employees at their most productive and creative when they are in a supportive, inclusive environment.

This conference, with a focus on employee engagement and inclusion, provided the Workplace element to Northern Irelands first ever CSR week. The aim of the conference was to share practical business solutions to engage and support an inclusive workforce that ultimately aims to help business to attract and retain fresh talent.

Prosper through People showcased organisations that have developed outstanding employee programmes that have benefited operations through cost savings or enhanced productivity. The organisations profiled included winners of Business in the Communitys regional Awards for Excellence and the national Healthy Workplace Big Tick awards.
