Our HR Leaders’ Forums are specifically designed to support HR Directors (or equivalent) and operate strictly under ‘Chatham House rules’.
This gives you a confidential environment to engage with other HR leaders and discuss key strategic issues which may be affecting your organisation.
In this session, there will be an interactive session led by our guest speaker, Jennifer McCanna. This will be followed by a legal update from Elaine Huttley, National Head of Employment.
At the end of the session, please do stay for a light lunch and the chance to network.
 There’s a trend for resilience workshops that are one stop shop tick box exercises; this session however enables you to learn insight that will support you support your people.
Â
We will look at resilience through the Resilience Dynamic lens – with research showing it isn’t something we have or don’t have, but it can be built.
Â
As HR people, insights into how we might build resilience can help inform how we support our people in everything from 1-1 conversations with an emotional member of staff, to designing leadership development programmes.
Â
You’ll go away with some insight into what you need yourself to stay energised in your demanding role.
Â
Places do fill up quickly so we encourage you to sign up as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.
We do hope you can make it.
