Future Proof 4: The Workplace

As the business landscape continues to evolve organisations are operating in a very different environment. Don't miss our next event exploring the Future Workplace.

Agenda 

11:00 – Welcome – CCNNI

11:10 – James Lavery – Allstate Northern Ireland – Facilities Manager

The new office environment/set up

James manages Allstate NI’s real estate footprint in Belfast, Strabane and Derry with responsibility for making sure the buildings and their services meet the needs of the business. In his presentation, James explores how the future employee’s workplace can be anywhere, not exclusively the office as before. Office layouts and technology need to be redesigned to suit future needs. The future office will need offer value, it should attract employees in rather than being solely a place to report in to for work as it was before the pandemic.

11:20 – Deirdre Doherty – Allstate Northern Ireland - Strategic HR-HR Manager

The strategy for people/culture

Deirdre has responsibility for Strategic HR and Services/Business Partner for Allstate Northern Ireland with a focus on delivery of the People Strategy including Talent, Performance, Culture and Engagement and Organisational Effectiveness. Deirdre shares Allstate's new people/culture strategy for the new workplace, with the goal to create an inclusive, connected employee experience that engages and empowers a flexible workforce in service of the customer and community. And how, as we move into the future of work – with so many unknowns – we have to take an agile/flexible approach.
