Building Culture and Developing Talent

Whether you think of yourself as young or old you’ll know how rapidly the employment landscape is changing. Even young-ish employers can seem to live in a different world to those new to the workforce.

Our July speaker is an expert in the early & emerging talent landscape; Nuwanthie Samarakone will guide us through the patterns, trends and challenges facing the tech sector today and in the future. Her presentation will focus on building a company culture for graduates and other new employees, plus practical steps for talent development in your organisation.

Join us to hear how employers who proactively support, coach and mentor talent will find they have the skill sets they need, when they’re needed.

Nuwanthe will also cover:

• Should you buy or build the talent you need?
• Dos and Don’ts for young hires and their bosses.
• What competencies do managers need to lead people when they themselves have been promoted for their technical competency?
