The HR Connection Group is delighted to invite you to our next live and ‘in person’ networking event which is kindly being sponsored by Practicus, the leading recruitment, consulting and advisory organisation with a well-established presence in the senior people, culture and talent market, committed to changing the way people feel about recruitment.
Strategic workforce planning is dominating the agenda of many a senior HR professional at the moment and this event has been created in order to meet specific demand from our senior HR practitioner network. So, as well as the chance to network face to face over a glass or two of wine and something to eat, we will be joined by leading HR and subject matter experts to discuss and debate the thorny subject of workforce planning.
Imagine unlocking 20% more staffing capacity without spending a single extra pound. Not through the same tired old levers of recruitment drives or endless rostering tweaks, but through genuine strategic workforce planning that finally matches capability to demand. We’ve all tried the traditional stuff; and it’s not working. At this exciting new event we will tear up the old playbook and dive into the radical, practical shifts that organisations across the UK need to make right now. Discover how positive, ethical AI can supercharge workforce insight – not as a tool for layoffs, but as a catalyst for smarter deployment, better skills utilisation and a thriving, future‑ready workforce.
If we get this right, we’re not just fixing staffing problems – we’re fuelling economic growth across the UK. Join the HR Connection Group and a panel of experts at this event and be part of the movement transforming workforce planning from reactive firefighting to strategic advantage.
This event is kindly being hosted by the financial wellbeing solutions provider, Stream, in their private bar,
Penny’s Bar at Stream The Garage, 7 Rathbone St London W1T 1LY
