The Inspiring Workplaces Power hour is a 7 part series of themed online sessions delivering key insights, inspiration, advice and knowledge from industry experts. 1 hour long virtual sessions to inject energy into your day.

Join us for our first Power Hour of the series: Employee Voice – Reinventing employee voice so we hear more of what matters.

Encouraging employee voice is not only vital for creating a positive work environment and improving morale but it also promotes innovation and creativity. By giving workers a say in the workplace, companies can foster a culture of trust and collaboration, leading to better business performance. 

The world has changed. We’re working differently, facing a new set of people issues, and with higher expectations from our customers and employees. We believe that makes a compelling case for rethinking the way we listen to our employees.

Attendees will learn:

  • How we’ve reinvented employee voice to make it fit the world we work in today
  • The importance of employee voice and listening as a foundational pillar of your employee experience and engagement strategy
  • An overview of  how to approach an employee listening strategy, different approaches and strategic choices and hear some lessons learnt from practice

Meet the Speakers

Rashmi van de Loenhorst, Former Head of Employee Communications, Philips

Rashmi is a global communications leader, passionate about putting people at the heart of organizations and ensuring they are listened to and valued just as much as (in fact more!) than any other stakeholder group. This comes from a strong belief and lived experience that people are an organization’s most precious asset. 

Rashmi will speak about her experience of bringing a more organic approach to employee listening and engagement to life at Philips and some of the tensions and challenges leaders and employees face. As she says, ‘If you really want to know what your people think and want to include them in positive change, you have to be prepared to let go of control! It’s when the magic happens! That’s tough for leaders, but done well, it can lead to real engagement and much more lasting change.’
