Listen to WorkLife Central's Head of Content & Director Fran Murrells talk about how we plan our programme - balancing awareness dates with on-pulse trends, 'big picture’ and niche topics, to ensure there is something for everyone.

Full Programme

Divided into four core topic areas - Careers, Families, Inclusion & Wellbeing - our programme is easily accessible; practical and positive; open and inclusive; relevant and on-pulse. Our unique combination of expert and lived experience voices, ‘big picture’ and niche topics means there really is something for everyone, whilst each of our three channels provides a range of formats for employees to tap into whenever and wherever they wish.
