How to Create a Happy and Motivated Workforce

What is the key to creating a happy and motivated workforce? How can you improve your staff retention rate?

 

In this edition of OxTalks – sponsored by leading national law firm, Mills & Reeve – host Howard Bentham is joined by Sarah Powell, HR Director at luxury Oxfordshire hotel Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons.

 

Today, we live in difficult times, where many vacancies remain unfilled, and employers are on a constant hunt for the right person to join their organisation. It’s a buyer’s market for job hunters – so, what can employers do to make sure they are finding the right talent for the role?

 

On OxTalks, Sarah Powell shares her career journey and the knowledge she has gained through working her way up the hospitality ladder. Having worked for big organisations such as Hilton Hotels, Crowne Plaza and Soho House, she now works for Belmond where she is in charge of HR at Le Manoir, and Interim Area Director of HR for Northern Europe and Africa. Find out the key to Sarah’s success on OxTalks.
