Are we in a recession? UK businesses discuss with UKFast
UKFast hosts discussions with the UK's leading entrepreneurs, asking the controversial question "Was it a recession for you?"
The UKFast Round Tables aim to unite business leaders to dispense advice for other companies looking to manage their own success, and to tackle varying and sometimes difficult themes and issues, like the worldwide 2009 recession.
Bringing together six of the North West's best business brains, the first of UKFast’s bi-monthly forums tackled the entrepreneur’s view of the recession.
Focusing on how online marketing has enabled companies to generate profit in spite of the economic downturn, the business forum identified employee engagement and aligning staff as a key aspect for surviving the recession.
In accordance with research completed by the Chartered Management Institute in 2009, encouraging employees to realise their full potential was regarded as an essential task to enhance innovation during the economic downturn.
