As competition for talent across the aircraft leasing sector continues to intensify, understanding how your peers are structuring benefits, policies and working models has never been more important.

In this session, Coopman who are pleased to be joined by EY's Laura Flynn (Partner, Head of People Consulting) and John Treacy (Director, People Consulting), will share the findings of a recent industry-wide survey of HR and operational leaders across the leasing market. The discussion will focus on key trends in benefits, hybrid working, annual leave and broader employee value propositions.

Designed as an insight-led roundtable, this session will provide attendees with a clear, anonymised view of how organisations across the sector are approaching talent retention and engagement in 2026.

Exclusive, pre-registered forum. If you wish to apply for a spot, please contact Dixie Rowley: dixie@ishkaglobal.com
