Exploring 'Culture Fit' vs 'Culture Add'

We are partnering with the founders of 50:50 Future to bring you an exclusive interactive session exploring Culture Fit vs Culture Add and a helpful peer-to-peer knowledge-sharing session.

What to expect?

Are you stuck in a continuous cycle of extending echo chambers with people of similar backgrounds, experiences and ways of thinking in your organisation? Do you have departments filled with clones? How can you open the doors of opportunity for some fresh perspectives?

This session will provide a taster into our unconscious biases and how they affect our hiring practices. Using examples of where homogenous teams can get it wrong, we consider the huge advantages diversity of thought can bring. You will gain practical strategies within your hiring process to avoid the culture fit traps as well as best practice approaches to retaining diverse talent and nurturing inclusive cultures within your organisation so that every individual has a voice, can be themselves and thrive.

- Arrival from 9am for refreshments & a light breakfast

- Session starts at 9.30am and runs until 11.30 am (with a short break)

Who will be there?

Everyone is welcome! This session will benefit anyone responsible for managing / hiring people. Business Leaders, Managers, HR / People Professionals, Learning & Development, and Talent Acquisition (and any similar roles) from across all industries.

Why attend?

An insightful and thought-provoking Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) session, where you have the time and space to reflect upon some of your practices, take away proactive tips from D&I professionals as well as knowledge sharing on the topics covered with industry peers.

If anyone has any questions or requires any additional support, please contact Catherine Hingston.

Success Stories

"When I wanted to establish a business with a brand new team of Executive level founders, James and NRG were natural partners to help us identify and recruit the wide range of skillsets we needed to ensure our success.They took the time to understand our requirements, timing and budget considerations to make sure we brought the right people on board."

‘Just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done - I've genuinely never had such a proactive recruiter in my experience and I've been glad to have you throughout this process.'
Audit Manager

"We approached NRG with the task of identifying candidates for the role of Convent General Manager to work collaboratively with members of our order and be responsible for the preservation of the Convent and the various services it provides to the local community.The ideal candidate would take full responsibility for the structure; processes, systems and policies; the capacity and capability of the order and demonstrate an inspirational leadership style to encourage and support a sustainable future for the Convent.We were really impressed by NRG’s dedication and imagination which enabled them to present us with a range of high calibre candidates, each of whom were appointable. Their lead consultant Scot supported the panel through the entire assessment process from initial interviews to making the offer and onboarding the successful candidate, who was actually a former pupil of St Anthony's Girls' Catholic Academy."
