Embrace the possibilities of the future and make work, work for everyone.” If you would like to rethink your leadership and organisational culture to make work, work for you— then join us for this pre-conference workshop with Sarah Pienaar, a Virtual Collaboration & Leadership Consultant at FuturePrufe.
