We are delighted to launch our next HR Leaders Group meeting which will take place in Manchester during the afternoon of 4th November.
Timed to precede the CIPD Annual Conference on 5th/6th November the session will be split into two halves
– employment law update and discussion (for those present in person and those joining remotely)
– discussion around dispute resolution and negotiation as a roundtable session (for those present in person only). This will include:
- Input around the negotiating framework, timescales, potential impact etc.
- Benefits/risks of multi-year negotiations
- Followed by open discussions (split into smaller groups if numbers allow) around organisation’s industrial relations experiences.
We recognise that talking in too much detail about negotiation strategies may be commercially sensitive and that is not the intention. The session will provide members with the opportunity to share experiences and generic ideas in a safe environment.
WHEN MAKING YOUR BOOKING PLEASE INDICATE IF YOU PLAN TO JOIN IN PERSON OR REMOTELY BY ADDING A COMMENT IN THE COMMENTS BOX. THIS IS SO WE CAN PLAN ACCORDINGLY. THANKS!
