Corporate Vision New Hubstaff Feature Measures Productivity for Remote and InOffice Teams Hubstaff, a leading time tracking platform, is introducing new location-based insights designed to help teams consistently measure productivity across remote and in-office environments. With the new feature, Hubstaff users can see how remote and in-office teams actually work, providing leaders with real data and clear insights to manage teams more effectively. “As RTO debates rage, organizations are looking for better ways to understand remote vs. in-office productivity,” said Jared Brown, CEO of Hubstaff. “Hubstaff’s latest update is part of a growing shift toward standardized time tracking and workforce analytics that provide clear visibility into performance differences.” The feature is designed to answer a common question for managers: how does remote productivity compare to inoffice performance using measurable data? What the Hubstaff Remote vs In-office Feature Does Hubstaff’s remote vs. in-office productivity feature is a location-based analytics tool that compares how employees work across different environments using time tracking and activity data – all in one unified dashboard. Hubstaff remote vs. in-office features include: • No. of Members per Location: Know how many teammates were remote, in the office or hybrid today, this week or this month. • Average Hours per Location: View how many hours are worked on average, remote vs in-office, to identify workload patterns. • Start/Stop Time: See when workdays begin and end by location, understanding schedule habits instantly. • Days per Location for WFH Policies: Automatically track whether employees follow hybrid or work-fromhome policies each week. • Timeline & Export Views: See historical trends and export data for leadership or HR reporting. • Focus Time: Track how time spent in deep focus varies between office and remote locations. Making Workstyle Decisions with Data, not Instinct Companies are under pressure to justify return-tooffice policies and hybrid work decisions. However, many lack consistent data to compare productivity across environments. Hubstaff’s new feature provides a standardized way to measure and compare performance, helping leaders make informed decisions about remote, hybrid, and in-office work. “With Hubstaff, leaders can make policy decisions with data, not bias,” said Brown. Hubstaff enables organizations to track employee productivity across work environments using consistent metrics such as hours worked, idle time, and work patterns.

News Top Marks to the 59% of HRs Who State They Fully Understand the Employee Benefits They Offer Good news that 59% of HR professionals have told the employee benefits experts at Everywhen that they believe they personally have a full understanding of the employee benefits on offer through their organisation. However, a deeper dive may be required into the nuances of health and wellbeing support, as explained by Debra Clark, head of wellbeing at Everywhen: “I am pleasantly surprised that so many HR professionals say they have a full understanding of the employee benefits they provide. This is great as, more often than not, it falls to HR to pass on the information to employees. Although with the support available within employee benefits ever widening, we would suggest that even the most clued-up HR professional may wish to consult employee benefits experts to gain a deeper understanding of what is now, and soon to become, on offer.” The research shows that nearly a third (30%) of HR professionals rate their understanding of the employee benefits they offer to the workforce as ‘good’. However, this leaves 11% of HR professionals who have a limited understanding of their offering, and this group are still likely to deal with employee benefits requirements, and be responsible for signposting employees to support. Everywhen points out that employee benefits can be complex, especially as they now cover such a broad range of support, such as physical health screening, support for chronic health conditions, mental health and counselling, and pensions and life insurance. It is also an ever-changing landscape with new employee benefits being added, and existing offerings being updated and enhanced all the time. Much depends on what HR professionals class as a full understanding of the employee benefits on offer. For example, they may know the multiples of salary paid out with group life cover for different levels of staff and that a nomination-of-wishes form must be completed, but do they know that this benefit may also provide access to an Employee Assistance Programme at no extra cost and a funeral concierge service? This is support that could be invaluable to an employee at the time. In larger companies, the HR function is more likely to have confidence in their knowledge of the employee benefits on offer. Where employee numbers are 250+, nearly two thirds (65%) of HR professionals said they fully understand the employee benefits on offer from their organisation – compared to 56% of HRs with fewer than 250 employees. This is perhaps because larger companies are more likely to make use of specialist advisers. SMEs too are encouraged to make use of employee benefits experts who provide guidance for companies of all sizes. Debra Clark concludes: “It is great that so many HR professionals feel they have a good understanding of the employee benefits on offer at their organisation, but it is important that this knowledge is not just focussed on a few areas of support, or even just on those currently being offered. Support for employees is growing and changing all the time, with more options becoming available, but also with many options becoming more personalised. So it is important to take specialist advice to fully understand all the areas of available support.”

Feature Legal Pitfalls of a Toxic Workplace Environment and The Steps HR Should Take to Avoid Them By Lisa Branker, Head of Employment and HR at Newcastle Employment Law Solicitors Beecham Peacock, sets out the key legal risks for employers The Employment Rights Act 2025 represents the most sweeping overhaul of UK employment legislation in a generation. Its implications are wide-ranging, touching businesses of every size — from early-stage SMEs to established corporations — and placing considerably greater obligations on employers when it comes to managing and preventing toxic workplace culture. Toxicity in the workplace is rarely deliberate. More often than not, it emerges from structural gaps: poor communication between leadership and ground-level teams, inconsistent management practices, or simply the absence of clear, enforceable policy. Whatever its cause, the legal consequences of failing to address it have never been more significant. Lisa Branker, Head of Employment and HR at Newcastle employment law solicitors Beecham Peacock, outlines three pressing changes and how employers can avoid falling into legal trouble. Preventative Duty & Sexual Harassment (Equality Act 2010, Employment Rights Act 2025) Employer obligations around sexual harassment have progressively tightened over the past 15 years, moving from the foundational provisions of the Equality Act 2010, through the Worker Protection Act 2023, and now into the Employment Rights Act 2025. Each iteration has raised the bar and the current framework demands a level of proactive prevention that many organisations have not yet reached. “From 6 April, any worker who raises a complaint of sexual harassment will have that disclosure treated as qualifying under whistleblowing legislation,” explains Branker. “In practical terms, this means they receive automatic legal protection against detriment or dismissal as a result of speaking up. Generic, boxticking policies no longer provide adequate cover — employment tribunals will scrutinise the substance of what employers have actually done to foster a culture of prevention. “Should a matter reach tribunal, HR will need to produce a documented audit trail — live evidence of ongoing risk assessments and active prevention measures. An annual training session will not be sufficient. Organisations need a properly structured, confidential reporting mechanism, with consistent oversight in areas where the risk of harassment is elevated.” Branker also flags further legislative change on the horizon: “Additional regulations expected in 2027 will define in statute what constitutes ‘reasonable steps’ for the purposes of the prevention test. Employers need to be monitoring for that guidance and building flexibility into their compliance frameworks so they can adapt quickly when it arrives.” Pressure & Threat of Dismissal (Employment Rights Act 2026) One of the most operationally significant changes is the reduction in the qualifying period for unfair dismissal claims, which will fall from two years to six months with effect from January 2027. This fundamentally changes the calculations employers make during onboarding and probationary periods, and removes the latitude many managers historically rely upon when managing new hires. “The old ‘wait and see’ approach — where employers could hold off on formal action and simply allow a contract to run down — is gone,” says Branker. “If there are genuine concerns about performance or conduct, those concerns need to be addressed through a proper, documented procedure — and they need to be addressed promptly. “From January 2027, ending someone’s employment at the sevenmonth mark without a substantiated and evidenced rationale exposes a business to an uncapped compensatory award for unfair dismissal. That’s a substantial financial and reputational risk — one that didn’t meaningfully exist before under the old statutory ceiling.” Branker recommends a structured approach to managing this risk: “Mandatory documented reviews at the three-month point give HR a clear, evidenced picture of how a new hire is settling in — both culturally and operationally. It creates a legal window in which to act, whether that’s addressing specific friction points or, if there is a genuine case for it, beginning a supported exit before the six-month threshold. The key word is ‘documented’ — informal conversations simply won’t hold up.” Toxic Culture Inside and Outside the Workplace (Employment Rights Act 2026) From October 2026, the scope of employer liability for harassment will expand considerably, extending to conduct carried out not just by colleagues but by clients, customers, suppliers and other third parties. This is a substantive shift that requires businesses to reconsider not only their internal culture, but how they manage commercial relationships in which staff may be exposed to harmful behaviour. “The ‘customer is always right’ position is no longer legally defensible if the customer in question is making the working environment hostile for your staff,” says Branker. “HR needs to be equipped to take direct, documented action against external parties — whether that means withdrawing access, issuing formal warnings or renegotiating the terms of engagement entirely. “A business that can demonstrate it consistently prioritises employee safety over commercial convenience is in a far stronger position than one that turns a blind eye because the relationship is financially valuable. The tribunal will want to see evidence of action, not just intention.” On a practical level, Branker advises that risk assessments are updated to specifically identify client-facing roles carrying an elevated exposure to third-party harassment. “Zero-tolerance expectations should be made visible — through signage where appropriate — and conduct standards should be embedded directly into service level agreements and client contracts. “The specific measures will vary depending on the sector and the nature of each commercial relationship, but the underlying principle is consistent: protection of staff must be built into the structure of the business, not treated as an afterthought.”

Small Business Awards 2023 | 7 How to Instil Values in Your Team From the Get-Go and Maintain a Positive Working Environment When Under Pressure By Pauline Vuyelwa Muswere-Enagbonma, Group Chief Executive, Jessamy Platinum Holdings Values are not statements we hang on walls; they are decisions we repeat when nobody is applauding. In every organisation I have built or led, I have learnt that culture is not created at the away day, in the induction pack, or during a crisis-management meeting. Culture begins much earlier. It begins at the point of recruitment, in the questions we ask, the behaviours we reward, the compromises we refuse, and the standard we permit when pressure arrives. A team does not become values-led by accident. It must be designed that way. From the very beginning, leaders must be clear that values are not decorative language, they are operating principles. If an organisation says it values integrity, then integrity must shape record-keeping, supervision, safeguarding, financial decisions, and how difficult conversations are handled. If it claims to value kindness, then kindness must not disappear when deadlines tighten. If it speaks of excellence, then excellence must apply not only to outcomes, but to the way people are treated while those outcomes are being pursued. The first duty of leadership is therefore translation: turning values into visible behaviours. A new team member should not have to guess what “respect” means in practice. It should be explained through examples: how we speak to colleagues, how we challenge poor practice, how we listen to people with less positional power, how we respond when someone makes a mistake, and how we protect dignity under pressure. Values become credible only when they are specific enough to be observed. Recruitment is the first cultural filter. Skills matter, but skills without character can become dangerous in any people-centred organisation. I would rather train competence in a person with humility than attempt to manufacture humility in someone who is technically impressive but ethically careless. From the start, I look for alignment between what a person says and how they think. For example, are they accountable? Do they understand service? Can they receive correction? Do they recognise that leadership is not domination, but responsibility? Induction must then do more than introduce policies, it must introduce conscience. A serious induction should communicate not only “this is how we do things”, but “this is why it matters”. In sectors such as social care, staffing, housing and community support, values are not abstract. They affect real people, real families, real risk, and real futures. When staff understand the human consequence of their work, compliance becomes more than a checklist, it becomes a moral discipline. Maintaining a positive working environment under pressure requires a particular kind of leadership maturity, pressure reveals the true culture. Any organisation can appear respectful when targets are light, rotas are full, invoices are paid, and everyone is rested. The test comes when the system is stretched, that is when leaders must refuse panic as a management style. A positive environment does not mean a soft environment and this is where many leaders fail. Positivity is not the absence of standards, it is the presence of clarity, fairness and psychological safety. People can tolerate high expectations when they trust that decisions are consistent, communication is honest, and dignity will not be sacrificed for speed. In fact, strong values allow teams to perform better under pressure because they reduce confusion. People know what matters, they know what must never be compromised. The leader’s behaviour is the weather system of the organisation. If the leader becomes chaotic, the team becomes anxious. If the leader becomes avoidant, the team becomes uncertain. If the leader becomes harsh, the team becomes defensive. But when the leader remains clear, calm and principled, people are more likely to stay focused. Emotional regulation at the top is not a personality trait; it is an executive responsibility. There are practical disciplines that help preserve culture during difficult periods. For example, communication must become more frequent, not less, priorities must be narrowed, managers must distinguish between what is urgent, what is important, and what is merely noisy. Staff should know where to escalate concerns, how decisions are being made, and what support is available. Workload, stress and wellbeing must be actively monitored, not discussed only after damage has occurred. Fairness is also essential. Under pressure, organisations can develop favourites, shortcuts and silent resentments. Leaders must guard against this and values must apply consistently across the hierarchy. The newest support worker, the senior manager, the director and the founder must all be accountable to the same ethical centre. Nothing corrodes morale faster than watching values become optional for powerful people. The organisations that endure are those that embed values into governance. This means supervision, appraisal, complaints, safeguarding, training, risk assessments, equality practice and performance management must all reflect the same principles. Values must be measurable without becoming mechanical. They should appear in meeting agendas, recruitment questions, leadership reviews, incident learning and celebration rituals. What gets repeated becomes culture, what gets ignored becomes weakness. For me, values-led leadership is deeply personal, I lead with the knowledge that systems either protect people or fail them. I have seen the cost of indifference. I have also seen what becomes possible when love, discipline, intelligence and accountability are held together. A positive working environment is not built by pretending pressure does not exist. It is built by ensuring pressure does not make us forget who we are. The real test of organisational values is not whether they sound impressive, it is whether they survive contact with reality. When values are instilled from the beginning, reinforced through leadership, and protected under pressure, they become more than culture, they become legacy.

Corporate Vision Future-Proof Your Workforce with Florence’s Flexible Staffing Solutions There are more than 1.5 million people working within the UK’s social care sector, even more than the NHS. This figure has risen by 2.2% from the previous year and, as more individuals join the workforce, care providers are finding it increasingly difficult to streamline their operations and practice effective workforce management. Today, we sat down with Dr. Charles Armitage, Co-Founder and CEO of Florence, a leading platform reshaping the world of workforce management within the health and care sector. Dr. Charles gave us more information, as Florence is named in the Technology Excellence Awards 2026. “Florence is building the technology to power the social care workforce.” The story of Florence began with Dr. Charles Armitage, an NHS veteran who had witnessed first-hand how difficult it was to fill staffing gaps in hospitals. He found that the process was slow and inefficient, whilst agencies overwhelmed nurses and carers with constant calls and emails. At the same time, these agencies were not able to approve timesheets or pay wages on time. Believing that there had to be a better way, Dr. Charles joined forces with social care expert Dan Blake. They built a team of health, care, and technology specialists, united by a desire to develop the tools that would heal the sector’s pain points and make flexible staffing simpler, faster, and more effective. Together, they created Florence. Since its inception in 2016, Florence has been on a mission to make the healthcare industry simpler and fairer for everyone in the UK and beyond. The platform’s end-to-end workforce technology enables healthcare providers to manage all their workforce requirements within one place. From hiring, compliance, training, and HR through to rostering, T&A, payroll, and agency management, this all-in-one solution has been instrumental in helping healthcare providers run an efficient, compliant, and cost-effective workforce. “Everything we do is driven by our core values: care about what you do, ask another question, build a positive team, put yourself in their shoes, and embrace the adventure!” In a competitive market, Florence stands out as the only endto-end workforce platform built specifically for social care. “For us, the user is at the heart of everything we do,” said Dr. Charles, “and ‘putting yourself in the shoes’ of our users is fundamental to everything we build. Everyone at Florence is encouraged to spend time on the frontline and gain an understanding of how the work they do impacts the people that use our products.”

It is often reported by clients to be the easiest-to-use neutral vendor solution on the market, playing a key role in saving significant time and money on contingent staffing. Organisations can quickly fill rota gaps through Florence Bank Manager, prioritising cost-effective quality care from their own bank or perm staff. By simply sending a shift notification and reviewing responses, managers can fill open gaps within seconds whilst mitigating the endless phone calls and texts messages typically circulated amongst their bank staff. When used in conjunction with Agency Manager, any unfilled shifts will automatically cascade to the organisation’s chosen agencies. Florence Temporary Staffing is an invaluable resource for organisations across the country, offering a carefully sourced selection of over 100,000 quality health and care workers for temporary gap filling.

Florence Academy offers more than 100 CPD-accredited and CSTF-aligned training courses which, when combined with its customisation features, enables team leaders to create comprehensive, high-quality training programmes for their team. Organisations can maximise its staff’s time and cover all 15 Care Certificate standards online, propelled by bite-size courses, automatically-scored tests, online workbooks, and email reminders that help learners stay on track. Together, these individual tools combine to deliver a powerful platform that provides organisations with complete control over their care workforce costs. To date, more than 2,000 health and care organisations have placed their trust in Florence, spanning residential care homes, nursing homes, mental health services, private hospitals, NHS hospitals and trusts, children’s services, supported living environments, and domiciliary care providers. More than 100,000 health and care professionals utilise Florence every day, with 95% of clients reporting a positive experience with the platform. The Operations Manager of Mariposa Care, a network of elderly care and nursing homes across the UK, shared: “Florence gives us the visibility we need across our entire group. Since implementing the platform, we have seen our agency spend decrease significantly while our staffing compliance rates have never been higher.” While Angela Boxall, CEO of luxury care provider Majesticare, commented: “What I love most about working with Florence is the honesty, transparency, and communication, which has been there from the start.” Striving to reshape the sector for good, the team behind Florence is continuously looking for new ways to improve the platform. It recently integrated an AI-driven scheduling tool to help automate complex rota patterns, allowing managers to fill gaps instantly and ensure safer staffing levels are met. Over the last year, the team has also worked hard to develop a selection of tools that help employers and employees navigate the new employment rights changes introduced in the Employment Rights Act 2025. With this in mind, the team upholds an ongoing commitment to placing people at the heart of its operations. “While we are a technology-first company, our goal is to give time back to our customers,” Dr. Charles told us. “We want to emphasise that tech is not just about efficiency; it is about allowing organisations to restore the human element of care.” Looking to the future, Florence will continue to grow and develop within the field of social care in the UK. With more than 1.5 million people working in this sector, there is significant opportunity for future growth. At the same time, the industry’s fast-paced nature demands that the team evolves alongside funding challenges and regulatory changes. By maintaining close relationships with its clients and listening to their complex needs, however, Florence remains confident that its team will continue to deliver a service it can be proud of, to the same standards that earned Florence its status as the UK’s Best Health Workforce Management Platform 2026. “To us, success is helping over 2,000 organisations gain better control over their workforce and compliance, allowing them to focus on what really matters: care.” Contact: Charles Armitage Company: Florence Web Address: www.florence.co.uk

Integrating sessions like panel discussions with interactive workshops on model deployment creates deeper engagement and encourages practical knowledge exchange. This approach supports collaboration across teams and aligns discussions with a broader generative AI strategy, which ensures insights translate into actionable outcomes. It also reflects attendee preferences, as 77% of professionals favor in-person conferences that foster social interaction and relationship building. Extended engagement formats also give organizations more opportunities to address specific challenges and refine their AI initiatives in real time. FAQs About Machine Learning Speakers for Corporate Events The following answers address common considerations for businesses aiming to maximize value from expert-led sessions. How can entities ensure a speaker’s expertise matches their technical level? Leaders benefit from reviewing past talks and real-world implementations rather than relying on titles alone. Direct conversations with the speaker or bureau help confirm alignment with advanced audience expectations. What types of machine learning topics deliver the most value for corporate audiences? Topics tied to real-world deployment — including model governance and scaling production systems — can resonate more with the audience. Emerging areas like generative AI strategy and AI regulation can also attract strong interest when tied to business impact. How far in advance should machine learning speakers be booked? High-demand speakers may require booking several months in advance, especially for large or high-profile events. Early planning allows more flexibility in securing niche expertise and tailoring content to specific goals. Closing the Gap Between Innovation and Execution AI keynote speakers help enterprises translate complex machine learning advancements into practical, resultsdriven strategies. Access to top-tier experts enables leadership teams to move beyond theory and apply insights that support real-world execution and innovation.
