Employee-owned business leaders care more deeply about their people, their fellow employee owners, and the impact their thought processes and decision making can have upon them. As conversations and planning turns towards retuning to the workplace, leaders will be considering how they do this and do this well at a time where ‘normal’ no longer exists.

Shaun Imrie, Group Head of Operations & Compliance from EOA member Shawston International will discuss his business’ approach to the operational lock-down and its approach to operational recovery.

Helen Moreton, Master Coach with 20 years’ experience within the EO Sector will explore the key considerations beyond the operational and digital, to ensure teams feel engaged and psychological safety at an anxious and unsettling time. She will consider principles of EO and how they can be leveraged to support the transition and embrace a new way of operating and being.

Speakers

• Deb Oxley OBE, Chief Executive, Employee Ownership Association (Chair)


• Shaun Imrie, Group Head of Operations & Compliance, Shawstons International
