This was the first Engage for Success conference hosted outside of London, and it was fantastic to hold it here at UWE Bristol welcoming over 170 external delegates to the Business School. The main theme of the event was around harnessing the skills of people and resources to reach new levels of engagement to boost productivity and save costs. There was also a focus on creating and sustaining employee engagement during challenging times, and with limited budgets, as often experienced by SMEs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event was chaired by Dr. Gareth Edwards, Associate Professor of Leadership Development at UWE Bristol, whilst Noordin Shehabuddeen, Director of Bristol Business Engagement Centre at UWE Bristol, welcomed the delegates, who came from a variety of professions from within the South West including the construction industry, accounting and finance, and local government. The conference was treated to some excellent keynote speakers focusing on the necessity for employee engagement now more than ever, to case studies from baby food manufacturer Ella\u2019s Kitchen to Wilmott Dixon, a local construction company, who were recently ranked the 4<sup>th<\/sup> Best Company to work for by the Sunday Times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There then followed a series of interactive workshops led by invited guests who are also ambassadors for Engage for Success, and a rather intriguing energiser event led by the Creator of Joy at Inspire me, who was able to create a credible rock choral version of \u2018Aint No Mountain High Enough\u2019 in just 20 mins \u2013 definitely an occasion which you had to be part of to actually believe. The event concluded with a keynote address from Andrew Sandiford, Managing Partner of local accountancy firm Bishop Fleming, followed by a panel discussion to answer questions submitted by the delegates throughout the day. It was evident that employee engagement is everyone\u2019s responsibility, and many of the questions centered on how to do this if given little or no budget, as well as strategies as to how to gain support from the cynics and buy-in from senior management. Support was certainly gained by everyone present, and we were delighted to have hosted such a fantastic event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday 25 June Bristol Business School hosted the \u2018Unlocking Performance through Employee Engagement Conference\u2019 in collaboration with Engage for Success, CITB and ILM.
