Purpose-led business is often seen as a recent trend, but the principles behind it are long established.

John Housego, managing director of Aquascot Ltd, will reflect on his experience in business and explore why purpose, clear values and aligned policies are central to building an engaged workforce. At a time when employee engagement across the UK remains low, the discussion will consider the link between engagement, productivity and long-term business performance.

The session will examine how organisations can embed purpose in practice and what that means for leadership, culture and outcomes.
