Work it out: How to build a strong HR and Finance partnership

In our session, our speakers shared their experiences about how understanding and managing emotions—both our own and those of our teammates—can boost teamwork and create a more positive work culture.

They shifted gears to talk about collaboration, discussing the different strategies for breaking down silos that often pop up between departments, ultimately preventing effective teamwork. Our speakers had some inspiring stories about how they implemented collaborative practices in their organisations.
