Tickets now available for The Caterer’s People Awards & Network event

The Caterer is recognising the industry’s “people people” with its inaugural People Awards & Network later this year.

On 5 November HR leaders in hospitality will gather at One Moorgate Place in London to recognise colleagues demonstrating excellence in employee leadership, but before the evening’s awards celebrations take place, ticket holders will have the chance to be part of an afternoon of learning and inspiration as part of a half-day networking and workshop event.

The People Network, which will precede the People Awards ceremony, will be a chance for HR leaders to learn from inspirational case studies and an abundance of takeaways to tackle business challenges facing the HR team, as well as providing moments to improve the careers of the delegates in the room – including a confidence coaching class, a chance to win a 1:1 coaching session, chair massages for a well-deserved time out, and a dedicated networking workshop.

Keynote speakers include Trudi Parr, head of people and development at Mollie’s who will discuss the challenge of encouraging schools and parents to see hospitality as a career choice for children, and Emma Simpson, people and culture director at Gleneagles, who will share how the hotel became the best place to work in hospitality after winning the Best Places to Work accolade earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Mark McCulloch, chief executive of Supersonic, will share tips on how to recruit using TikTok and Robyn Filep, co-founder of Becoming will tell delegates about the important of positive psychology in the workplace and give delegates a chance to win a coaching session.

And thanks to support from UKHospitality, the event will also address the core principles of the Hoteliers’ Charter and look to expand this incredible piece of work to recognise the entire hospitality industry including hotels, restaurants, contract caterers and pubs.

“The People Awards and Network is a real chance for the industry to come together and recognise the “people people” in hospitality,” said The Caterer deputy editor, Caroline Baldwin.

“Delegates will be able to witness truly inspirational stories from their peers, while there will also be plenty of opportunities to ask questions, network through a facilitated workshop hosted by Michelle Moreno, founder, QAB Leadership, as well as spend time with personal impact coach, Jodi Goldman, to take a moment for yourself and return to your business with a spring in your step.

“This event will be an interactive and engaging afternoon before we come together and raise a glass or two to celebrate the hardworking individuals who make hospitality one of the best industries to work in – The Caterer team can’t wait to welcome you on 5 November.”

Make sure you are in the room to be inspired and learn from inspirational speakers, and network with fellow operators to ensure the industry improves employee engagement and retains the people we need to drive success, growth and profitability.
