What’s Working, What’s Broken, What Would You Do Differently?
The HR Connection Group, would like to invite you to an exclusive, ‘closed doors’ lunch we are hosting between 12 noon and 2.30pm on 24th September for a very select number of senior HR professionals in Manchester and the North West.
As well as the chance to network with your peers over something delicious to eat, we will be discussing what we see as the key HR priorities facing people leaders. No panels, no pitches, just genuine conversation between peers.
This exclusive event is being held in the Orange Room in Soho House which is itself set inside the former Granada Studios (4 Atherton St, Manchester, M3) and is kindly being sponsored by Sonder. A leading health, safety and wellbeing platform, Sonder helps organisations better support and protect their people – inside and outside of work.
We hope you can join us please RSVP to chair@londonhr.org to express your interest

The LHRC is a dynamic forum in which I’ve met some very interesting people, been introduced to a number of potential business contacts, attended thought-provoking and educational debates. I commend the group to any HR practitioners and suppliers who want to expand their professional network.
Tips on Networking
Rehearse
Prepare some conversation lines if you’re worried about ‘sticky silences’. Try offering two topic choices, e.g. ‘do you know many people here or are you a newcomer like me?’
Body language
Think about your posture, levels of eye contact, facial expressions and your handshake. These all influence peoples’ perception of you and give off signals as to how confident and engaged you are.
Follow-up
As soon as you leave, begin thinking about how you’ll follow-up new contacts. Take a few notes on who you met, and ensure you follow up within three days of the event.
