Programme

A discussion of the findings of Sandpiper Group’s 2024 Reputation Capital Index featuring Sandpiper COO, Kelly Johnston and Michael Rinaman, Sandpiper’s Managing Director, Strategy and a panel of senior industry professionals. Panellists will unpack some of the emerging issues that threaten both reputation and business performance, as well as key learnings about what leaders are doing to understand, manage, and mitigate reputation risk.

According to United Minds' "Employees Rising" report, while 67% of employees trust communications from their employer, 49% still get their information through the grapevine, and 25% are neutral about the effectiveness of the communications they receive. More impactful engagement strategies are necessary in an era of rapid organizational change.

This panel will explore ways leaders can go beyond traditional, passive communication and actively involve employees as key players in the transformation process. We’ll discuss innovative ways to foster employee engagement, build trust, and create an environment where change is embraced.

As culture wars escalate, what frameworks are organizations using to decide when to engage, and to assess their own tolerance for risk and controversy?
