Why Attachment & Connection Are The Secret To Unlocking "New" Talent Potential
Based on Employee Life Cycle and Attachment research, come and learn how you can measure and manage the emotional bonds of your new talent to increase retention and maximise effort and performance.
CEO’s, senior leaders, HR leaders and hiring managers know that talent challenges don’t begin or end with recruitment. The real opportunity to unlock the full potential of your workforce lies in understanding and being able to manage the emotional bond strength of your people at every stage of the employee lifecycle. This session will focus on how to get it right from the beginning with new talent, and how to sustain the emotional bond strength for all employees.
Join us for a focused 90-minute event hosted by Elizabeth Pettit, Founder & CEO of PPD Search who will introduce keynote speakers Anthony Sork and Selina Sork, co-owners of Sork HC, a world leading Leadership, Culture and Employee Perception, Sydney based consulting company.

They will share practical insights into how measuring and managing the perceptions of the full employee lifecycle, with particular focus on Attachment and Connection, can enable you to attract and retain your most important asset – your people.
You will see how leading organisations are using robust data and clear reporting to build stronger relationships, inform smarter people decisions, enhance culture, and improve performance outcomes.
This session is designed to be practical and strategic, giving you actionable insights you can apply immediately across your hiring, onboarding, engagement, development, retention and exit strategies. If you’re looking to move beyond surface-level organisational wide engagement metrics and build a workforce strategy grounded in research and meaningful insights, this event is for you.
