Join our HR Hub
Come and join our informal, friendly community of HR professionals, employers and people managers who are keen to learn, share and collaborate.

Every month, we run live Zoom events in partnership with RWK Goodman, which attract around 100 people. They last an hour and include a presentation by a guest speaker and a live poll.
Most of our guest speakers produce a blog, useful checklist or video which we circulate afterwards together with the results of our polls which are great for benchmarking purposes.
Please make a note of our forthcoming Zoom HR Hubs and contact Kate Allen to reserve your free place.
