Gain insight and connect through employee ownership
Enabling those in key leadership and governance roles to network, discuss and share issues in a safe and confidential space.
It’s good to talk – or so the saying goes. But when you’re employee-owned, it’s also good to be able to listen, network, discuss common issues and share best practice with peers in a confidential online space.
That’s why Telos Partners created EO Connect.
EO Connect spans our three peer support groups for employee trustees, MDs and people, culture or HR leaders in businesses that are employee-owned. It is free for our employee-owned clients and open to others (by invitation) for a fee.
Why join EO Connect?
Quarterly by-invitation online meetings hosted by our EO team
100 per cent confidential to encourage honest debate
Topics chosen by participants – guest speakers on request
