Our 2026 Business Outlook report revealed that Talent Retention continues to be one of the most significant challenges facing your scaling businesses, alongside increasing pressure on leadership and management bandwidth.
‘Unlocking Key Talent’ has been designed specifically for our SCALE by Platform94 community responding directly to the challenges highlighted by our scaling businesses around retaining key talent, building the right organisational structures, and sustaining momentum without overloading leadership teams.
Facilitated by Sue Gannon, Fractional CPO at Platform94, the session will focus on practical, people-led strategies to support talent retention and organisational design as businesses scale. Sue will be joined by Paula Ruane and Sarah Conry, Directors in Deloitte’s Global Employer Services, who will share practical insights and real-world examples from working with scaling and international businesses.
The session will explore:
- Practical strategies for retaining key talent in competitive markets
- Leadership and management structures that reduce strain as organisations scale
- Incentivisation and reward approaches, including ESOPs and long-term incentive plans
- Total reward considerations beyond salary, including flexibility, benefits and progression
- Governance, compliance and operational considerations as teams grow
- Common pitfalls encountered during scale and how to avoid them
