Winter 2012
 
 

Welcome to your branch Winter E-Newsletter


Our events programme continues to prove popular with extremely well attended events on Stress Management and an Employment Case Law Update. Consultant Network events are also well attended including the event in partnership with Sheffield Business School – an update/discussion on Performance Management, Employee Engagement and Organisation Development which had extremely positive feedback.

The programme continues with more stimulating events to come. For further details visit our website.

And just a reminder - your feedback is always welcome: we are particularly keen to hear about the type of events/activities which interest you. We are also keen to have members join us on the committee. Helping run the branch is a good way to develop your skills and build your professional network. Please contact Jenny Bristow or David Hayden via the website if you wish to explore further.
