The UK has experienced an increase in economic inactivity since the start of the pandemic. This is impacting the ability for organisations to recruit and is worsening the current inflationary challenge. There are a number of factors at play – retirement, sickness, migration and demographic shifts.

It’s been a turbulent few years for people at work. If it’s not a busy workload or the uncertainty faced from a global pandemic, it’s now the concerns of the cost of living crisis.

In 2020/21 stress, depression or anxiety accounted for 50% of all work-related ill health cases. Couple that with financial pressures being the top cause of stress outside of work, it’s no surprise that many people just dread Monday and the week ahead.

Investors in People, together with Channel 4 and the University of Exeter Business School are supporting research to explore the causes, impact and resolution of the Sunday Night Blues.

Join us for this morning session where indicative results from the research will be shared. We’ll be joined by Channel 4’s People Director Kirstin Furber alongside Director of Research at the University of Exeter Business School, Exeter Centre of Leadership, Professor Ilke Inceoglu and Investors in People CEO Paul Devoy to explore the latest findings, what they tell us and most importantly what are the next steps against this challenge.

To reserve a space, please complete the booking form. Due to capacity, we will be in touch to confirm whether your ticket reservation has been successful.

You’d be wrong. In fact, collaboration between these two departments is crucial to the success of an organisation.

That’s because of one key factor. Perception.

How your organisation is perceived will determine if, when and how often a consumer chooses to buy from you. It also determines whether or not someone would want to work for you, or if they already do… if they want to stay.

The best and biggest organisations in the world understand this, and put a huge focus on ensuring their HR and Marketing departments are aligned.

When they are, organisations and their employees thrive. Because there’s consistent messaging both internally and externally. Consumers, candidates and employees know what to expect. They see consistency, alignment and collaboration. They then want to align themselves with that organisation whether that’s as a customer or an employee.

When was the last time your HR and Marketing departments came together?

We’re delighted to be teaming up with the Academy of Chief Marketers for a networking and insights event for senior HR and Marketing professionals to explore this topic in more detail. Come along to hear from experts on how to master internal communications, build the right culture, drive engagement and develop a consistent, aligned and strong employer brand.
