HR Behind Closed Doors; Who's looking after HR?

Who’s looking after HR?

A small, informal roundtable of senior HR professionals discussing the reality and demands on our profession and what can help us thrive, when we hold it all for everyone else in the workplace. The purpose of this event is to co-create a meaningful conversation with fellow senior HR and People Leaders.

HR have never had a shortage of responsibilities. But the growing expecations and sheer level of change on the profession is relentless. The space to step back, think strategically and experience some level of work life balance is becoming more challenging.

New systems, new legislation. Workforce expectations, hybrid work and organisational restructures...and that's before we really get to grips with AI and all the people and organisational impact. All while keeping the organisation moving, HR are expected to be the 'steady hand' amidst it all. But what happens when HR start running on empty?

It's a tough conversation we don't have often enough.

This edition of HR Behind Closed Doors brings together a small group of senior HR leaders to talk candidly about the current realities of the profession.

• Not another presentation.

• Not another discussion about how HR can do even more for everyone else.

• It's an opportunity to step out of the day to day, connect with peers who understand the demands of the role and explore what's working, what's not and what needs to / can change.

What we’ll put on the table;

• How are the growing demands and competing priorities affecting the way we lead, operate and make decisions?

• What are we experiencing in HR that we don't always feel able to say out loud within our organisations?

• What does our profession need to lead effectively without sacrificing our own wellbeing and sustainability?

• What are we / can we do differently to help us navigate the complexity, protect our capacity and thrive in the role?

Who this is for

This conversation is for senior HR and People leaders, CHRO's, People Directors, Heads of People & Culture, Organisational Development professionals and those leading HR teams or responsible for HR functions.

The group will be intentionally small, so the conversation can go deep because the people responsible for the organisation's people need somewhere to have the conversation too.
