Join ANZ's Carl Broadbridge and Brooke Treadgold as they discuss the value in not hiring the perfect fit for a role but focusing on what the team and the role needs while facilitating cross team progression and individual growth. Joining the discussion will be one of the team's Chapter Leads, Sanitina Blair - an advocate for the lessons presented by stepping out of comfort zones (not ticking that 100% fit box) and facing challenging environments.
Part of our Build Tech Tips speaker series on Building a High Performing Tech Organisation - a speaker series of enriching discussions for achieving organisational success. As part of ANZ’s passion for building New Zealand’s Technology Ecosystem, we'll be sharing thought leadership and lessons learnt on creating an effective tech organisation, focusing both on individuals looking to build their tech careers and, on Tech companies looking to boost their understanding and appeal to new and experienced tech talent - from hiring to retaining to growth and diversity. Join us for one, some or all of these engaging panel discussions.
