Power day
Passion for people or just profit?
Wednesday 26 March 2025 | 08:30 - 11:00 | Separate registration
During the Power Day, we dive into a crucial debate in today's business world: Is success driven by passion for people or simply profit?
Many companies see these as two distinct and opposing forces, but Oscar Woltman, our host believes that the true formula for success lies in combining both elements into a cohesive equation. In this session, we will explore how companies can effectively balance these seemingly opposing aspects to foster both employee satisfaction and financial success. One of the key topics we will discuss today is workforce retention strategies. How do companies approach employee satisfaction and retention - is it salaries, bonuses, or perhaps something else? We'll also take a closer look at the employee experience and the challenges they face in the workplace.
Register and explore, along with expert panel moderators, these insights, offering practical solutions and strategies for building a more harmonious and profitable work environment!
