Overview (Program Summary)
We hope you can join us at an intimate lunch for senior in-house lawyers.
This roundtable event will feature Bernadette Doyle, Manager – Legal Counsel, Seqwater and Linda Grace from Ashurst Reach.
Socially sustainable work practices are critical to an organisation's success. There are now five generations of Australians in the workforce, with Millennials and Baby Boomers being almost equally represented in Australia's current talent market. Successful legal teams need to find innovative ways to build cross-generational cultures, make the right investments in staff development and adopt DEI practices which avoid age-related biases.
At this exclusive roundtable, the Bernadette will share her experiences; and we will then brainstorm successful strategies for managing cross-generational teams in the areas of culture and hiring, training and development, and DEI.
Seats at this event are limited to 15. Please RSVP as soon as possible to secure your place.
