York workshop focuses on enhancing communication to attract and retain talent

Two York-based professionals are offering local business leaders a practical opportunity to improve their communication strategies and strengthen employee engagement. Karen Tinkler, a PR expert, and Michelle Mook, an employee engagement specialist, are hosting a free, half-day workshop on 11 September 2025, designed to help businesses build an appealing internal culture and employer brand.

The workshop will explore how businesses can leverage their brand, story, and culture to stand out in a competitive job market. Attendees will learn actionable strategies for improving external messaging to attract the right candidates and how to implement communication techniques that boost employee retention and satisfaction.

Research suggests poor communication contributes to low employee engagement, a key challenge for many employers. This session will offer solutions to address these issues and increase motivation and productivity across teams.

The event will take place at Pro-Development’s office at Forest Farm Business Park in York. Registration is open to business leaders interested in taking steps to create a stronger, more engaging workplace.
