Igniting Discretionary Effort Without Spending More

Overview

An exclusive forum for senior HR leaders exploring how values-based leadership, autonomy, and recognition can drive engagement, innovation, and productivity — even without increasing pay.

Key Topics:

  • Changing generational expectations
  • Rising recruitment costs and smarter retention
  • Driving productivity, innovation, and discretionary effort
  • Gen Z & organisational alignment
  • Evolving recruitment models

The expectations on HR have never been higher - and neither has the opportunity to lead.

The invitation also includes a complimentary lunch at Kingi Private at The Hotel Britomart, along with networking opportunities.

Every detail has been thoughtfully planned for our forum at The Hotel Britomart, the best of downtown waterfront Auckland and an outstanding complimentary lunch, creating an inspiring environment for networking and innovative thinking.

This event is tailored for senior HR leaders, and we’d love to hear from you if you'd like to join us. Please register your interest, and we’ll be in touch with an invitation. As space is limited and the conversations are geared toward senior-level challenges, we’re unfortunately not able to accommodate junior roles on this occasion.
