We’re just beginning to see signs of growth returning to our economies, with companies spending money on marketing and recruiting new employees.
It’s going to get competitive for the best people during 2012. Research in Europe and the United States suggests over 40 per cent of people are open to job offers from other companies.
They’ve stayed in their current roles only because nothing better is available. As companies start hiring again they will begin moving to new roles and new employers.
As a leader are you thinking about how you can motivate your people – especially those who feel they have made lots of sacrifices over the last couple of years and now want payback – before they leave?
Not only do we have leaders from companies with reputations for being great places to work, we also have Gen Yers sharing their experiences, ideas, frustrations and passions. They are sure about what they want and have high expectations.
Join us for the 2012 Worth Working Summit this March and hear new insights, ideas, tools and techniques you can apply in your own organisation.
Over five days we will look in detail at what makes a company worth working for; answering the questions:

Once you sign up you will be able to listen to the interviews free-of-charge between 12-16 March 2012.
Each interview is around 30 minutes and will be broadcast for a 23-hour period so that you can listen in no matter where in the world you are based.
Every day you will receive an email with all the details for the next day’s interviews so that you have time to plan when you will listen around your work commitments. You’ll be able to listen via a computer or by telephone.
Additionally, from the day you register, you will be able to join the conversations in our LinkedIn group where you will be able to connect with the speakers and other summit members.
When you register you will also be given the option to purchase the interviews as audio downloads at a special discounted rate that is available only to Worth Working Summit members for a limited period.
If we put these speakers in a two-day seminar you would pay thousands of pounds to listen to them – and you wouldn’t get any work done.
Now you can have the same experience without leaving your desk and I’m inviting you to attend this amazing event for FREE!
You don’t have to pay for hotels, flights, meals, seminar fees or any of the other costs usually associated with attending a business event.
And if you purchase the audio downloads then you can listen and listen again to each of the speakers. Every time you listen you’ll hear new nuggets of wisdom.
All you need to do is register today to join the summit and get access to our speakers and their accumulated years of experience.
We’re looking forward to connecting with you…
