Post-Summit Workshop 10 March 2016 9.00-4.30 Leading the Development and Implementation of Cultural Change - A Toolkit for HR Professionals It is widely recognised that organisational effectiveness is significantly dependant on staff engagement; and that the key drivers of staff engagement and retention are culture and leadership.

Human Resource professionals are key enablers of culture development and change as part of their strategic contribution, however balancing the pressures of everyday tactical HR with future orientated culture change, especially when resources are limited, can be challenging.
