Leading Change - Building resilience and engagement

“It’s been quite a year in Southwark, and the Dynamic Voice programmes have made a real difference in keeping the teams working together during all the leadership changes and various challenges. Peer support, relationships and joint working between SMs and TMs have been very much enhanced”
