This report captures the outputs and discussions from the First Ascent Foundation Event: New Perspectives on Employee Engagement. Thank you to our thought-provoking speakers and all of the delegates that joined us to tackle the topic of employee engagement in the new light of brain science.

The report includes:

• An overview from Dee Wilmott, Chief HR & Development Officer, of Archant’s ‘Engage for Success’ initiative to improve Employee Engagement in the context of the volatile and challenging publishing industry. 

• A look at the brain’s key organising principles and practical steps leaders can take to move brains towards engagement and avoid triggering a ‘threat’ response and disengagement.

• An insight from Shella Smith, Head of HR & Organisational Development, into the range of formal and informal steps Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council have taken to achieve success so far in Employee Engagement.

• A summary of the key priorities emerging from the workshop’s discussions around Employee Engagement

• An outline of practical actions for delegates to take away and implement to drive engagement, adapt as leaders and create and embed values within an organisation
