Greater Birmingham Engage for Success: Share + Learn + Inspire Network 

The Greater Birmingham Engage for Success network meets four to five times a year, and we want to involve you! If you are keen to understand or are involved in employee engagement in the workplace, then this is a great opportunity. The network is run by volunteers who are passionate about engagement and sharing the ideas of Birmingham practitioners. The aim of the network is to:

• Provide opportunities to network with like-minded people
• Share best practice using techniques that you can take back to the workplace
• Create space to reflect on what you are inspired to take back to improve employee engagement in your workplace.

Topics are driven by the needs who attend, so the programme evolves as the year progresses. If you want to find out more about the Greater Birmingham Engage for Success: Share + Learn + Inspire Network, please get in touch.
