About this session

The year 2023 has been characterised as the year of the strike with workers disrupting economic activity in fear of job loss, de-skilling and the effects of inflation. How can leaders meaningfully accelerate trust with workers today to prevent the strikes of tomorrow and promote greater prosperity for all?

This is a livestreamed session.
