EVP Essentials:
A Fireside Chat

Speaking with LinkedIn’s Richard Lowe, Mark will unpack why EVP matters more than ever for public sector employers, how content marketing turns a good EVP into something candidates actually see and believe, and the common mistakes organisations make when they try to tell their story (spoiler: it's rarely about having enough stories to tell, it's about how you tell them and who sees it).

August 25th
Online (Hosted on MS Teams)

AHRI Queensland Network Forum

Mark will be leading a session on The Power of Brand in HR - For Culture, Impact and Careers that Count.
