About
Join Doug Johnson, Managing Director of Tonkin + Taylor, to hear about the values and initiatives that underpin T+T’s commitment to being a family-friendly organisation.
Doug will share T+T’s journey; it’s goals, what’s worked, what hasn’t worked and the value that he has seen from this people-centric focus.
Joining Doug in this conversation will be:
- Rebekah Fraser, The Back To Work Coach
- Scarlett Ma from T+T’s People and Capability Team, and
- Kate Searle, a recent Parental Returner at T+T
Rebekah will share the work she does with Parental Returners in support of T+T’s goals and outlines best practice recommendations for supporting returning and working parents, while Scarlett will speak to the rationale and details, and Kate to the lived experience of T+T’s initiatives.
This online event is a must-attend event for people leaders, implementers, decision-makers and working parents alike. We invite you to come along and join the conversation.
