About this Event
Boardroom Business is a collaborative, supportive event for business people wanting an acting non executive board away from their work environment where speaking openly is encouraged under NDA.
In November we are delighted to welcome speakers talking all things HR. Inclusive hiring, changes to the Employment bill, all you need to know, AND working with charities, what you need to know.
We meet at Fareham Innovation Centre at 9 for 9.30am to allow for your morning commitments and aim to complete at 11.30am.
We will also have a Pain and Gain session with one of our attendees. We will share our ideas on how they might develop their way through the pain point.
We charge a small attendance fee to cover expenses.
See you on the Tuesday 12th November.
Come and get involved with this great community of excellent business entrepreneurs.
