welcome to the 2020/21 programme of events
2019/20 saw us discussing ....have a guess. Yes you are so right...Brexit and and everything HR. How quickly we have moved on! Then there was financial well-being, how to get a place on the board, and all things Covid 19.
Our first event in September was "My brilliant, if bumpy, HR career" with a panel of different HR managers talking about their career progression. Sometimes we get a panel but sometimes we just find an expert to kick us off and then we share ideas and practices.
We usually have a drinks on the lawn event in July but this year it was online. We said "Next year we will party!" however it may have to be another Zoom G&T.
The 2021 programme is baking in the oven with dates to be sorted. However all topics are planned and for the rest of 2020/21 we will meet on Zoom. Members say that worked really well this year, and was a welcome chance to find out what other HR professionals were doing faced with Covid - 19.
We will be in touch when 2021 dates are ready if you give us your email address. (Go to the contact page here).
