Hubilo’s SUBMERGE event welcomes HR leaders to explore the depths of employee engagement in a hybrid world

18th November event is bringing together world-renowned speakers, including Lenora Billings-Harris, CEO of Ubuntu Global, and the award-winning author, Phil Simon

Hubilo, the world’s leading virtual and hybrid event platform, has announced its next SUBMERGE event – increasing employee engagement in a hybrid world – taking place virtually on Thursday, 18th November 2021 at 12:30 pm GMT.  The session is bringing together widely acclaimed experts in employee engagement, diversity, equality, and inclusivity, including Lenora Billings-Harris, the CEO and President of Ubuntu Global, and the workplace tech-guru & award-winning author, Phil Simon.

The interactive event will explore the surprising research findings on what keeps employees engaged with their jobs, what makes them leave, and explain why organisations need to urgently rethink how teams collaborate and communicate in a hybrid environment. The session will provide HR professionals with practical tips and advice on how to create more engaging and inclusive hybrid working experiences to unlock the benefits of a diverse and collaborative culture.

Joining Lenora and Phil on stage, Rachel Moore, Director of Social Media and Community at Hubilo, will give the run-down of how businesses can supercharge their recruitment efforts to attract more talent and broaden the pool of candidates using new and innovative technologies.

In a post-COVID era of high unemployment rates and staff shortages, it has never been more important for HR departments to reinvent their DEI programmes to stand out commercially and culturally to potential candidates and business partners. Today’s competitive labour market and shifting workforce dynamics call for organisations to add real value to DEI initiatives and push the boundaries beyond performative actions on diversity and inclusion.

Cathy Song Novelli, SVP in Marketing + Communications at Hubilo said: “Despite many headline news and evidence on the tangible business benefits arising from a diverse workforce, the issue of exclusion and inequality is still largely present in our working society. As working models shift and employees actively look for more flexible and hybrid environments, companies can no longer afford to stand still and invest in ineffective diversity programmes. We encourage all HR professionals and business leaders to join us on 18th November to learn how to connect and engage communities in a hybrid environment to attract and retain the best talent and move the organisations into a better future for all.”
