Taylor Vinters Opening Keynote: Future of Work: The Zebra Project – 12 Months on Dominic Holmes, Partner & Peter Finding, Partner, Taylor Vinters Since its launch in January 2018, the Taylor Vinters Zebra Project has brought together a select group of business leaders, creative thinkers, academics and innovators to explore the opportunities arising from the future world of work. We are already seeing the reinvention of business and employment models enabled by significant technological advancement. For many, purpose and value are outplaying profit as business drivers. Crowds and platforms are emerging as new ways of resourcing fluctuating demands for products and services and the rate of AI adoption is impacting on the skills and quality of jobs for the workforce of the future. Our Zebra events have sparked ideas and stimulated debate about how organisations can succeed in this new environment. Twelve months on, we reflect on what we’ve learned so far, where the future of work discussion is now heading and the opportunities it presents.
BIOG Dom is joint head of the employment team at international law firm Taylor Vinters. He is highly-regarded for his wealth of expertise advising on complex and business-critical HR situations. He has particular experience in helping employers deal with sensitive workplace disputes, senior level exits and restructuring projects (often across multiple jurisdictions).

HM Courts & Tribunals Service Opening Keynote: Building Digital Skills For A Digital Court Service Antonia Dietmann, Deputy Director of Organisation Capability & Emma Milton, Head of People Capability, HM Courts & Tribunals Service HMCTS is responsible for the administration of criminal, civil and family courts and tribunals in England and Wales – and non-devolved tribunals in Scotland and Northern Ireland. We handle about four million cases a year, operate from around 350 courthouses and hearing centres and employ approximately 15,000 people, most of whom are frontline, operational staff. We launched a once in a generation transformation programme of our services in 2016. There are three parts to our reform programme: 1. Modern Settings – this includes modern buildings and also digitally-enabled processes to remove paper from the justice system. 2. Modern Capabilities – we will equip our people with the skills and knowledge to perform in the modern, digital world; treating them with fairness and respect. 3. Modern Technology – building what the users of our services need, and adjusting in an agile way. The third part will bring digital technology into HMCTS and how justice is administered. Preparing our staff to operate in a digital age is a key pillar of our people capability strategy. We have developed a peer-led, bite-sized training approach to building digital confidence across our operational staff. The pilot of this programme has shifted digital confidence by 24% and introduced a structure for social learning. We have also built our first digital learning products for staff who are starting to work in new ways. As far as possible, we want people to learn in the same way they work. This has been a huge change for people working in HMCTS but the learning products have been well received.

BIOG
Antonia Dietmann is Deputy Director of Organisation Capability at HM Courts & Tribunals Service (part of the Ministry of Justice) supporting employees through the largest reform of the justice system in history. Early experiences researching workplace bullying amongst teachers and sexual harassment in the Armed Forces impressed upon her the negative impact of when relationships at work go wrong. As such, she is passionate about the fundamental need for meaningful work relationships as a key driver of successful business outcomes. This partly involves giving employees a voice in shaping their experience at work and supporting leaders at all levels to create space for employees to contribute. To do this Antonia brings psychological evidence and creativity together to deliver sustainable interventions at a large scale. These draw on her experience of nearly 15 years’ as an Occupational Psychologist with expertise in research, culture change, leadership and talent development, engagement, inclusion, and wellbeing. As a past Chair of the UK’s Division of Occupational Psychology (part of the British Psychological Society), Antonia champions the value and insight that Occupational Psychologists can bring to organisations. During her time as Chair she focused on raising the profile of the profession, supporting trainees, and re-connecting with members, traveling widely across the UK to do so. Antonia has worked in three of the ‘big five’ government Departments all of which were undergoing major organisational transformation (Ministry of Defence, Department for Work & Pensions, and now in part of the MoJ) after starting her career at the University of Sheffield and Rolls-Royce. She is currently pursuing a Professional Doctorate focusing on relationships in organisations.
A competitive and social person who thrives on a challenge, James is inherently curious, creative and driven. These characteristics, eclectic experience and a desire to create positive and lasting change combined to light the fuse that started Hastee Pay.
BIOG Emma Milton is Head of People Capability at HM Courts and Tribunals Service (part of the Ministry of Justice) supporting employees through the largest reform of the justice system in history. Emma has worked in three Government Departments – Department for Work and Pensions, Cabinet Office, and now Ministry of Justice. As well as more generalist HR experience, she has expertise in talent and performance management, people data and workforce planning and people capability. Emma’s most recent roles have focused on supporting employees through change, which is where her passion lies. In her current role, Emma is responsible for understanding HMCTS’ current and future capability needs and implementing a strategy to meet those needs.
Prior to founding Hastee Pay, James founded Brightsparks during his final year at Durham University, where he studied Economics. Brightsparks has since gone on to directly employ over 16,000 people to work within Events and Hospitality and is involved in some of the UK’s most prestigious events. Along the way, James has been fortunate enough to be involved in a range of great business, including as an investment banking graduate at Cazenove and an analyst within Lloyds of London.

The Future Of Pay James Herbert, Founder & CEO, Hastee Pay Technology has empowered us to control nearly every second of our lives, yet we still have to wait until payday for the cash we’ve earned. In 2019, we believe that that should not be the case. Hastee Pay is an award-winning employee benefit that companies can offer to their workforce, which empowers employees to receive a portion of their earned pay immediately to increase their choice and financial wellbeing. Companies profit from the improved productivity, engagement, recruitment & retention of their workforce, with zero cost or impact on company cash-flow. There is no interest to pay, just a small, simple fee. We will look to share insight in to the market, examples of success with those brands using Hastee Pay already, understand the significant uptake seen by those brands (up to 40% of staff), an overview of how Hastee Pay works and how it can help you and your workforce.

Lunch and Networking Panel Debate – The Digital Workplace of The Future CDC Group Case Study: We are all Communicators Adrienne Glad, Head of Internal Engagement/Head of Network, CDC Group Working across multiple locations, whether regional or global, is challenging enough but creating internal messaging and connecting colleagues in a meaningful and inclusive way can add even more complexity for a communications team to consider. An intranet can help, but that is only one tool. Adrienne Glad, Head of Internal Engagement for CDC Group, talks about the approach her organisation took in building an internal communications function, introducing a new intranet and getting people engaged with storytelling—and each other—through a ‘We are all communicators’ campaign.

Ashridge Executive Education: Shades Of Grey…An Exploratory Study In Team Engagement Sharon Olivier, Senior Faculty And Discipline Lead For People and Talent, Ashridge Executive Education In potentially the largest UK study of barriers to engagement in teams to date, researchers from Ashridge Executive Education at Hult International Business School on behalf of Engage for Success and supported by Oracle worked with 195 participants from 28 teams across seven industry sectors. When comparing work teams across the study, our findings suggest that there are ‘shades of grey’ when it comes to team engagement, opposed to teams by simply being either engaged or disengaged. Consequently, we identified four zones of team engagement as well as three meta themes that have the largest impact on team engagement. This research challenges traditional binary notions of engagement or disengagement and questions whether engagement surveys present the true story when it comes to team engagement.

Wilson James Case Study: Digital Profiling
In 2017 TCS CEO, Mr Rajesh Gopinathan, launched the Machine first delivery model as a strategic priority that will take us into future. Simple put, MFDM will provide machines the first right of refusal - it meant that TCS , as a part of our technology solutions, will give priority to automation and only when that is not possible, will we look at a solutions involving human intervention. There was some anxiety among our employees - what does in mean for the future of 400000 employees? TCS is one of the largest employers in several countries and one of the highest recruiters in many markets. We hire about 35000 people annually – what happens to job creation?
The Wilson James group provides safe, secure, customer-led solutions to more than 300 clients across the UK and Europe. Wilson James have been raising standards for over 25 years across three core service lines; security, construction logistics and aviation services. In security, our SIA licenced security officers provide protection for a business, its assets, people and reputation. Security experts advise on the latest security technology including CCTV, alarm systems and data, as consultants help mitigate risk whilst adding genuine value to each client.
Two years into the launch, MFDM has been a phenomenal success. TCS is one of the fastest growing IT services companies in the world clocking a double digit growth even at such a large base. However, automation did not lead to loss of jobs; rather, it led to better career and more jobs not only for TCS but also for customers who implemented the solutions. Automation is not about eliminating jobs- it is about eliminating bureaucracy, wastage and organizational politics that bogs down people and keeps them away from focusing on things that they should focus on. Automation is about helping work become more meaningful. This session provides specific examples in the HR department and how automation can not only eliminate bureaucracy but make HR jobs more meaningful.
In construction logistics, we provide a range of services to support large scale construction projects. A highly flexible approach enables us to combine the expertise of different logistics management fields such as transport, storage, material movement, people flow as well as data and technology. In aviation, we deliver a diverse range of services including aviation security, passenger and premium services, airport operations and construction logistics, consultancy and training. Enabling our customers to transform service provision through technology is fundamental to our business. With accountability for the group wide People Strategy Sam will lead the internal digital transformation to support our workforce of over 5000 employees across 150 sites. Having led several significant people and technology transformation programmes, Sam’s latest challenge requires a digital people strategy which connects and engages employees from a diverse workforce, who are often based off site and have limited corporate technology infrastructure. Sam will share her challenges in identifying and designing an employee digital profile to inform the employee digital transformation plan.
BIOG HR Director, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) – UK& Ireland; TCS UK is one of the largest IT services Company in UK with more than 18,000 employees and £2 Billion+ in revenue Global experience of 20 years spanning different countries (United Sates, India and UK) Previous roles include Head of HR of Retail Business Unit in TCS, and Head Staffing – TCS North America (based in New Jersey, Unite States) and several other leadership roles Recognized in TCS for key initiatives in HR Transformation, Mergers and Acquisitions, Leadership Development, Employee Health and Safety and deployment of HR practices at scale across the organization Certified Compensation Professional, Bachelor of Law (B.A, L.L.B), M.B.A (HR), Gold Medalist in Indian Constitutional Law.
