Today, we celebrate Global Meeting Industry Day 🌎, recognizing the invaluable contributions of event professionals worldwide. Despite being ranked the third most stressful job in the world (according to a study by the World Scholarship Vault), industry professionals continue to pour their heart and passion into every project. Business events play a crucial role in our economy, with significant impacts on tourism spending and economic growth. 💡 In Canada alone, business events account for 40% of all tourism spending, contributing $47 billion to the economy and supporting 242,000 direct jobs. The average spend per participant, per event, is $901, highlighting the significant economic impact of the meetings industry. As we celebrate GMID, let's take a moment to appreciate the hard work, creativity and dedication of event professionals who make memorable experiences possible, driving economic growth and fostering connections that are more important than ever. #GMID #EventProfs #MeetingIndustry #BusinessEvents #EventPlanning #EconomicImpact Source: Destination Canada; Events Industry Council, Oxford Economics, Global Economic Significance of Business Events, 2023.

🌟 Reflecting on an impactful UHC Stars onsite in Minnesota 🌟 Building strong relationships and engaging stakeholders are the cornerstones of success in everything I do. My recent onsite meeting in MN with some of the Irish Analytics team is a testament to this, highlighting the transformative power of collaboration and communication. Throughout the week, it was clear that continuing to fostering these meaningful connections with our US based peers not only enhances our understanding of their needs and expectations but also drives innovation and improvement for the Stars business. By actively engaging with our partners, we can co-create solutions that are more aligned with the business goals and deliver for our members. One of the highlights for me was an in-person hackathon - dedicated time to delve deep into our data to answer pressing business questions. This focused approach allows us to uncover actionable insights, refine our strategies, make data-driven decisions that propel us forward, but above all collaboratively solve some of our burning business questions. Key takeaways from the onsite for me was creating spaces for honest and open conversations helps to identify common challenges and opportunities for growth and aligning on a shared vision and objectives ensures that everyone is working towards the same goals. I look forward to continue to prioritize these principles [with some of the other capabilities we have here in Ireland supporting the Stars business], knowing that our collective efforts will lead to greater achievements and a brighter future for UHC Stars. #RelationshipBuilding #StakeholderEngagement #Collaboration #UHCStars #HealthcareInnovation #AnalyticsVacation #DataDriven #Teamwork #MinnesotaOnsite

Could have not said it better Paul Hargreaves ......'This is why businesses must be better and embrace sustainability. It is why young people like Gracie come and work for us. And if your business wants to attract the talent from Gen Z and Gen Alpha then you will probably have to be better than you are now.' Data repeatedly shows that this desire to align your working life with your own sustainability values is not just linked to the younger generations. Your sustainability strategy is your secret weapon to attract and retain talent whilst also driving higher engagement and productivity amongst your employees. Not to mention engaging your employees helps to meet your sustainability goals which will make your CSO happy. Have you woven your sustainability strategy tightly with your employee engagement strategy? Or does it make more sporadic appearances.....a one slider in the onboarding deck....a poster in the cafeteria...an event on Earth Day? Why don't you ask your employees in the next employee engagement strategy? See whether they are clear on your strategy and what role they might have in helping meet your targets. And if you need some tips on how to start engaging your employees check out Halo by Design to see our top 7 opportunities for employee engagement. #greenhr #employeeengagement #sustainabilitystrategy

CITY OFFICIALS ARE EXECUTING DEVELOPERS AGREEMENTS BEFORE PUBLIC IS AWARE ? TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION? DISPARITY REPORT 2016 STATES. Redevelopment Authority] approved the goal over the objections of the Human Relations Department of I think 1.2 minority [participation] and 2.5 WBE [participation], when there was adequate availability of minority and women contractors to meet the City’s standard kind of goal of 15 [percent] and 7 [percent]. They’re diluting the opportunity for minority and women contractors when it comes through the statutory business development organizations, all of whom have different sets of rules..… There ought to be a uniform code that is incorporated in all the development agreements which people in our community never see.… There’s a disconnect. And I realize they’re trying to change some of that now but the insulting part of it was there was more money spent through statutory agencies last year for contracting activities than there were through City departments.… It’s obviously developer driven. By the time we see it the development agreement has already been executed. We’re having a big deal now both with the east patrol, the streetcar and the proposed 800 room convention center hotel. If it’s not in the development agreement there’s very little you can do at that point.… Kansas City’s an inclusive city. We’ve shown that over and over. It has sustained through white mayors, through black mayors, through female mayors. Yet, we allow the statutory organizations to dilute it.They have their own board[s] and they can do what they want.
