Event Summary
“In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, organisations must adapt to the evolving needs and expectations of their workforce. With the increasing longevity and varied skillsets of older workers, there is a growing recognition of the value they bring to businesses. To effectively tap into this valuable talent pool, it is crucial for organisations to create an inclusive and supportive multigenerational workplace.
This session aims to equip participants with the knowledge and strategies necessary to develop an attractive Employee Value Proposition (EVP) tailored specifically for older workers. By understanding the unique needs, motivations, and aspirations of older employees, businesses can design a compelling EVP that aligns with their goals and fosters a mutually beneficial working relationship.”

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy:
Study Request from Charlotte Harding, she has started recruiting for her study which aims to explore lesbian and gay adults’ experiences of completing dialectical behavioural therapy.

Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), is a therapy that works with reducing mental health difficulties and managing self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Yet, there is little research out there around this groups lived experience of completing DBT.
Charlotte wants to explore generally how lesbian and gay adults found completing DBT but more specifically:
- What it was like to engage in DBT as someone who identifies as gay or lesbian
- Was DBT experienced as affirmative in nature
- What was it like working on self-harm urges and suicidal ideation, within DBT, as a gay or lesbian person
Her study is a paid study, participants will receive a £25 e-voucher for participating in a one-hour interview to share their experiences.
Charlotte hopes to make recommendations to DBT therapists on how to adjust/improve therapy after she has analysed the data. If you wish to take part or have any questions: [email protected]
