KEYNOTE 2: NHS HR, People & Culture – A Quantum Force for good

With so many challenges in the health and social care world, it’s not difficult to feel the strain of constant pressures. Yet the collective spirit of all who work in the NHS and the People Profession could be seen as an under-utilised quantum force.

Hear from Perry Timms – 2022’s HR Most Influential Thinker and 2023 Hall of Fame inductee – for his perspectives and calls to action for:

A new operating model for HR – that builds a system to enable our quantum energy to equate to a sustainably strong impact

Our sense of self and our quantum potential – what we are truly about and capable of aligned to the purpose, integrity and compassion needed in our work

How we can fuse the model and our spirit to practically and realistically craft new capabilities, enhance our impact and create the capacity to flourish and achieve the highest sense of human good.

 

We’ll have inspiration from mathematicians, philosophers, scientists, artists and practitioners about a future that beckons us to build and be a part of. Our quantum force for good.
