People, Performance & Productivity: Designing Teams That Deliver Real ROI

Date: Thursday 26th February

Time: 1:15pm – 6:00pm

Investment: £195 + VAT

Who Should Attend?

• SME founders, CEOs and Managing Directors who feel people costs are rising faster than performance — and want practical ways to get more ROI from their teams without constantly hiring more people.
• Business owners and senior leaders responsible for team structure, leadership and delivery, who know their challenges aren’t recruitment alone — but clarity, accountability, onboarding and performance.
• Leaders looking to scale smarter by exploring hybrid team models, overseas talent and more flexible resourcing — without compromising quality, culture or control.

Why attend?

People costs are rising. Productivity is under pressure. And many SME leaders feel they’re paying more — but getting less — from their teams.

In this practical Masterclass, we’ll cut through the noise and focus on what really drives performance. Most people challenges aren’t hiring problems — they’re leadership, team design and clarity problems.

In the first half, Rob will show how to design high-performing teams using proven frameworks — from communication styles and role fit, to leadership behaviours, clear expectations and onboarding that accelerates productivity.

In the second half, Andy Browning from Hotsourced will take this thinking into execution, showing how SMEs are building hybrid teams using overseas talent — accessing high-quality skills, improving ROI and scaling capability beyond the UK-only model.

You’ll leave with practical tools, real-world examples and clear actions to get more performance, productivity and return from your people.
