Date and time: to

Location: Edinburgh Napier University Edinburgh

Organisation: Peer Works

Attendees will leave inspired and with practical tools, real examples, and fresh ideas to help them work smarter in their organisations. We will help turn productivity from what for some might be a vague concept into meaningful principles and actions that all organisations can embed in their operations to create tangible benefits whether increased efficiency, sustainability, output or staff wellbeing.

Inspired and informed by research from The Productivity Institute, we will explore how five interconnected drivers can be harnessed for business success:

  • marketing and communication
  • innovation and digital adoption
  • leadership and management
  • access to finance
  • worker skills and wellbeing

The conference is relevant to both employers and employees, from finance and technology to HR and management and from across sectors and industries.

The event will be delivered in partnership with the Edinburgh Napier University,  The Productivity Institute Scotland Forum and the University of Glasgow.

All proceeds from in-person ticket sales will go to support Children’s Hospices Across Scotland.
