All too often these are negative and work at crosspurposes to what management is trying to achieve. Furthermore, business leaders and senior managers are oftentimes unaware UGR’s even exist, and consequently have a rose-tinted view of the company's culture. The UGR’s will be formed by staff observing managers' words and actions, and whether they live up to the precepts they have laid down. This session will show you how to identify the ground rules at work in your organisation and change negative perceptions into positives that the whole team can endorse and follow.

Given the strategic importance of people related risks many organisations are looking to HR to help businesses take a proactive and preventative approach to managing risk.

Directors Forum delegates are again invited to attend the opening keynote sessions in the Ted Hopkins Room with the Main Conference delegates and will then be escorted by HR Summit staff to the Sonar Room.

Having an understanding of how the brain forces us to reach emotionally during change will assist organisations to manage responses more effectively. Being able to plan strategies to ensure that the threat response is not activated gives leaders the chance to motivate people appropriately to meet the challenges of change.
