About this event

People play a fundamental role in most businesses. Colleagues, customers, suppliers, investors; so much of our success in business rests upon people and the relationships we develop with them. Yet anyone who has lived – let alone run a business – can tell you that relationships with others can be complex, challenging and, at times, pretty tricky.

Developing and maintaining good relationships at work underpins team development, retention of staff, employee engagement and individual wellbeing, but how often do we approach this strategically within our businesses? Are we proactively investing in developing this as a skill, or are we just trying to be a ‘good people’ and hoping for the best?

Join us at this free event, where experts from our Centre for Interprofessional Education and Learning will unpack evidence-based relational solutions that can have a real impact in your business and beyond.
