About the Employee Engagement summit 2025
This year’s Employee Engagement Summit, held in London, brought together senior leaders for a day packed with case studies from some of the world’s largest brands and insights from leading experts in employee engagement.
The world continues to be shaped by trends such as remote and hybrid work, employee wellbeing and the integration of AI and automation. The event was a valuable opportunity to hear in-depth insights on how the world’s leading organisations are tackling these challenges.
We were proud to sponsor this year’s event and be part of the conversation on what’s next.

How do you bridge the experience gap?
Tim Lotherington, Havas People
Tim identifies the three key areas of the employee engagement gap and how employers can find a way to bridge this gap and its impact on engagement, productivity and customer experience.
Aligning people strategies to business goals
How can your organisation take a closer look internally and tailor employee experiences through data and workforce engagement?
Employee satisfaction’s impact on the customer
While many organisations deliver great customer experiences, it’s easy to overlook the experiences of our own people. We explore why employees, like customers, have diverse and evolving needs, the challenge of adapting to local market needs and the critical role of organisational culture in driving engagement.
Engaging employees in large workforces
Organisations with a large workforce need to meaningfully engage their employees. Rob explores how NHS Scotland’s blueprint approach utilises multiple engagement channels, fosters safe listening environments where people can speak up without fear and incorporates critical feedback loops – by not just collecting input but also acting on it.
The importance of human-centred leadership in the Public Sector
Human-centred leadership is at the heart of the workforce. How do we respond and adapt to a changing workforce? We explore the rise of multidisciplinary teams and roles while recognising demographics are ever-changing.
