Peter Cheese said: “We have our sights set on shaping a profession for the future. We’re unveiling new research at the event which delivers fresh insights into the changing context for HR and learning and development professionals, and into the ways the science of human behaviour can contribute to better work and working lives. This builds on work we’ve already completed to further inform the Future of HR Framework we unveiled at last year’s conference. For example our focus on the development of the analytics organisations need to understand and derive insight from their people data, and our frequent engagements with the big debates in public policy – on everything from the UK’s skills and productivity performance, and our concerted campaign, harnessing voluntary action by our members, to boost youth employment, to the positive case for the use of well-managed zero hours contracts benefitting employees and employers alike. |

“Looking to the year ahead, we’ll be focused on engaging with the growing international interest we’re seeing in developing stronger connections and collaborations with us. Attracting, developing and engaging talent is an increasingly global challenge, and we see a rapidly growing interest in developing stronger HR capabilities at a national and an organisational level. We’re also actively engaged with national and international thinking on how enhanced standards can contribute to strengthening good practices and principles of people management. |

“Our research and collaborative agendas collectively contribute to our broader thinking on the need to build a profession for the future. These are exciting times for HR and learning and development. The challenges organisations and their leaders face are people challenges. This is our time – but to seize the opportunities and unlock the potential of people, we need to invest more in building for the future, as individuals and collectively as a profession.” |
