Annual HR Directors' Retreat 2024: Managing Change

Past HR Network Event

26/27 September 2024

Event Summary

With a change of government comes a change of focus and priorities. There is now a steady flow of proposed changes to employment law, public service delivery priorities, as well as changes in tone and emphasis in relation to all things work, workplace and workforce. In this context, managing change well moves even more centre stage if we are to change the world of work for the better and improve the state of the nation.

Challenges with managing change well abound; from how to engage staff effectively and meaningfully, how to ensure the engagement and wellbeing of people are maintained in times of both high expectations and challenge, and how to lead effectively through change.

This event actively debated these issues in a supportive and collaborative environment with contributions by leading thinkers, practitioners and opinion-formers from HR, the trade union movement, academia, and the private and public sectors.
