Beyond small talk. Into real connection.
Connects is a meaningful icebreaker and energiser designed to break down barriers and create genuine connections between participants. Moving beyond traditional small talk, the activity encourages people to discover shared interests, experiences and perspectives, helping them see their colleagues in a new light.
Through a series of engaging interactions, participants uncover stories and common ground that might not naturally emerge in the workplace. These connections create a stronger sense of understanding and appreciation, while helping teams recognise the different perspectives and experiences within the room.

The more we automate HR, the more human HR must become. Organisations have never owned more HR technology, yet only one in four turn it into business value. The reason is simple: we digitise the process instead of removing the pain.
This session presents the HUMAN loop, a practical five-step methodology for building an HR automation strategy that pays back in business terms: faster services, stronger engagement, and measurable gains in productivity and retention. It comes from a leader who speaks both languages, technology and people, in a career that began in IT and grew into senior HR leadership engaging boards and NRC committees.
You will leave with a compass, not a checklist: a five-step methodology you can apply immediately, a one-page scorecard that turns diagnosis into a roadmap, KPIs that measure what employees feel as well as what processes cost, and three moves that need no budget at all.
