Welcome to your branch Spring e-newsletter

Can you believe it’s almost springtime? Soon the nights will be much lighter and we will feel like exploring outside our workplaces and homes. With that in mind I would like to welcome you to our events. We have some fantastic speakers and topic’s planned throughout 2011. I’m sure you will enjoy the social and professional networking side of things too. Find out more by checking out the Events Programme on-line here. This is also due to arrive in a hard copy format on your doorstep at home. The committee have been working really hard on making sure all the last minute final touches are put in place to provide you with interesting, informative and enjoyable things to do which will help to build your HR experience and capability.

We have also been holding Succession Planning Sessions for new potential members to join our team. If you would like to be considered to join this highly professional, experienced and friendly Business Focused HR team get in touch; with Angela our Branch Administrator, via our website and we will arrange for you to attend a tailor made session to meet some of the team. The whole team look forward to chatting with you at the events.

As a committee we would also like to thank Amey for their sponsorship support which is provided for our meetings and events at the International Design Hub at Colmore Plaza, Birmingham.
