Welcome to our December e-newsletter where you can find news about what is happening within your local branch. Our branch offers excellent opportunities for you to engage with other HR practitioners.

Why not browse our web site and see for yourself?

These days it’s even more important for HR practitioners to develop strong networks and keep abreast of what’s happening locally. We hope to significantly develop our website in the months ahead, including details of events and activities as well as interesting articles for you to read.

In this issue we have updates on our next scheduled events with further details of events in the future to be posted on the web pages in the next few weeks.  Book  online now for an event.



We look forward to seeing you at one of our events.
