Recruitment and retention remain some of the biggest challenges in adult social care. In a stretched sector, strong leadership, timely support and a positive care culture can make a real difference to how care workers feel, work and stay.
This recorded panel session brings together voices from across the care sector to explore what supportive leadership looks like in practice, and how care providers can create working environments where people feel listened to, valued and able to do their best work.

About this webinar
Good leadership and culture are often spoken about from a management perspective, but they affect everyone working in care.
In this session, our panel shares different viewpoints from across the sector, including care expertise, registered manager experience and frontline care worker insight. Together, they discuss what helps create positive care environments, how culture affects retention and morale, and what practical actions providers can take to support their teams.
The conversation also explores how leadership development and training can help providers build workplaces where people want to join, stay and grow.
