All About Culture – The Professionelle 2019 Event Series

There’s no denying that the world of work is shifting… We’ve got distributed workplaces, global collaboration, an emphasis on self-directed training, greater emphasis on work-life balance, a faster pace of work than ever before and roles in demand now that didn’t even exist before the year 2000!

At Professionelle, we are committed to supporting the progress of women in business, so we’re pleased to let you know we have partnered with ASB to bring you a series of inspiring events throughout 2019.

ALL ABOUT CULTURE
What is culture - and why does it matter now more than ever?
How do values and behaviours shape and drive culture?
And how do you build a culture based on your values, or make sure that the environment you are working within aligns to your individual values?

No matter where you work, and what role you hold within the organisation, you’ll be subject to some sort of company culture. Culture isn’t new, but the success of values-led organisations points to the vital need to create a values and behaviour-based culture or environment in business. In this session, you'll hear from Samantha Gadd is Founder and Managing Director of Humankind, a business with the vision to create the best employee experiences in the world. Humankind (formerly HR Shop) was a 2015 Deloitte Fast 50 winner, and named fastest growing services business in the Wellington region in the same year.

Samantha is obsessed with Employee Experience and the difference it can have on business performance. Samantha Gadd, who has advised hundreds of organisations over the last 15 years on leadership, culture, performance and all things people. She is passionate about the future of work and the importance of modern leadership to attract and retain top talent. Samantha is currently focused on growing Humankind and recently launched Kin (sister company to Humankind) and building an exemplar employee experience in both organisations. In 2018 Samantha also launched the first Employee Experience Awards programme in New Zealand. Also Mum to three young boys, Samantha is experienced at blending life and work. Facilitated by Marisa Fong, (Chairperson, Professionelle).
