The founder of training company Alitus, social enterprise Dream On and The Blossom Charity will discuss the importance of adopting an environmental, social and governance (ESG) approach to leadership and the impact on workplaces.  

She will also give her observations on leadership and employee engagement within public and privately owned organisations. 

“Understanding how your employees are feeling and thinking about your company is essential,” said Ms McIntyre, who is also chair of Notcutts and a former non-executive director at Adnams and The Jarrold Group.
