We are delighted to announce that the next HR Directors' professional network meeting is now open for booking.
The upcoming meeting will centre on new employment law, featuring an extended update from Emma Burrows and Laura Welchew, partners at Trowers & Hamlins, followed by a Q&A session. Key topics of discussion will include the impacts of the National Insurance increase and the living wage on organisational finances and what that means for the people our members employ.
Attendees can expect a 30-45 minute dialogue exploring financial implications driving the HR agenda, with polling on various approaches to implementing the living wage, general pay increases, and potential restructuring plans.
Additionally, there will be a focus on capturing information regarding commissioning rates and funding to understand pay constraints better.
The session will also address effective communication strategies for informing staff about pay limitations, despite the organisation's wish to provide increases. The format will encourage engagement through polls, breakout rooms, and other interactive elements to facilitate collaboration between organisations.
