Episode 266 of bookcareers.com Live – Staff Wellbeing at Book Fairs

Suzanne Collier spoke to many people whilst at the Frankfurt Book Fair about their ‘Frankfurt experience’. How did their employer look after them whilst at the Frankfurt Book Fair? One thing that came from the answers, was that all Frankfurt experiences were not equal.

In this episode of bookcareers.com live we discuss Staff Wellbeing at Book Fairs and how simple changes as regards hotel, travel and food can make the greatest difference and ensure staff feel looked after.

It gives tips and suggestions for both employers and employees alike, and demonstrates why the wellbeing of any member of staff should be given equal, if not more importance, than the exhibition stand itself.

From the initial booking of stand space, deciding on marketing, getting stock or samples ready to following up after.
