Chamber to relaunch flagship skills campaign

Growth Through People, the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (GBCC) flagship campaign on skills and productivity, will return in 2023, and is seeking businesses and individuals with experience and expertise in various facets of leadership and people management to get involved.

Growth Through People aims to help local firms boost productivity through improved leadership and people management skills.

Delivered by the GBCC, alongside partners, it includes free webinars with research and thought leadership content, all delivered together with Chamber members.

In 2022, Growth Through People culminated with the Campaigns first in-person conference which focused on helping businesses learn techniques and obtain guidance on how to get the best out of their workforce, as we emerged from the pandemic.

The 2022 campaign received 365 registered delegates at its events and webinars. 80 per cent of delegates surveyed said they learned something and will be applying in their role or organisation.

Emily Stubbs, senior policy and projects manager, said: “Leadership and people management skills are one of the key areas in which businesses can improve productivity. They are particularly crucial for business reliance and growth as we navigate through these challenging economic circumstances.

“Growth Through People wouldn 't be possible without the world-class expertise of our members and strategic partners, and their willingness to share their best practice advice and experiences.

“This year 's campaign will cover topics including responsible leadership, accessing talent, engaging staff, unlocking potential and rebuilding resilience. We 're excited to work with members who have expertise and experience in these areas to deliver a campaign that is bigger, better and more impactful than ever before. ”
