Wherever you find yourself working, how are you doing at creating your own great place to work?  </p><p></p><p>When people talk about a ‘new normal workplace’, there are really as many options as there are workers.  Finding a set up that’s right for you is about much more than decent broadband and an ergonomic chair at home, right?  Although these both do seem to have become essential kit.  We all have a slightly different relationships with ‘work’ and the ‘workplace’ compared with 18 months ago.  Wherever we are, we will contribute in different ways as workers – some more visibly than others. </p><p></p><p>Lizzie and Kelly have conducted research with around 300 employers and more than 1,000 workers over the last few months to understand more about where we all hope to head next.  They will share some key insights from their research to help prompt an interactive debate around the longer term impact of our more mobile working patterns. Take away some ideas about the deeper issues around creating your own great place to work, wherever you are.  </p><p></p><h3>Speakers</h3><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizzie-bradbury-nee-duckworth-1256aa91/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lizzie Bradbury</a></p><p>Lizzie is Marketing Manager at COEL, a design and fit out company which specialise in creating exceptional working environments.</p><p>Throughout COEL’s history, their target has always been to deliver workplaces which are healthy and productive. In fact, COEL worked with Kelly Drewery before in conducting research into Wellbeing in the Workplace, investigating which physical elements in the workplace benefit employees’ health and wellbeing. Roll forward 7 years and Lizzie was interested to work with Kelly again in examining the effects which the pandemic has had on the way we work.</p><p>As employees now start to think about returning to the workplace as a destination of choice, what key factors do they value after their sustained period of absence. Lizzie is keen to examine the findings of the survey which looks to examine what people miss about the workplace and what they would like to see in the workplace on their return. Helping employees thrive in the workplace through meeting their physical, social and emotional needs is key to Lizzie’s interest in conducting the research on behalf of COEL.</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellydrewery/ " target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kelly Drewery</a></p><p>Kelly Drewery has been a Business Psychologist for more than 20 years, working with a variety of well-known brand name employers across many industry sectors.

<p>Impact Women’s Network is a network of female professionals, academics and entrepreneurial women from all sectors, who want to do things differently and have a significant impact on their industry, business, society and the environment. Sharing experience and expertise, we are united in raising the public visibility of impactful women and instigating even greater change together.</p><h3>Inter-Resilience - redefining system and structural resilience</h3><p>If the past year has taught us anything, it is how to use and find new levels of agility. Impact Women’s Network 2021 /22 programme is therefore focused on redefining this new-found agility as ‘inter-resilience’ – both in who we are and what we do, as well as across technology and systems.  Each month, we will look in detail at leadership, business models and technology through a range of impactful speakers and thoughtful debate. </p><p>These sessions are aimed at challenging our own understanding and approaches to some big societal issues. Everyone then creates their own impact at a personal, professional and collective level.</p>
