About this Event
Designed to support our CIPD members navigating increasing complexity, pressure and change, this event brings together a community of professionals to reflect on how we balance performance at work with sustaining and prioritising ourselves.
In an interactive and relaxed space, you’ll explore themes of resilience, wellbeing, and professional identity focusing on honest reflection, shared learning, and renewed energy. Sessions will tackle the realities of emotional labour, change fatigue, and stakeholder pressure. The event also places strong emphasis on connection and community. Small-group discussions will enable you to build authentic relationships with peers who understand the unique challenges of working in HR today.
What can you expect from this event?
- The event format involves rotating around tables in small groups with fellow HR professionals.
- There are three themed tables: Resilience Without Burnout, My HR Identity, and Prioritising Wellbeing.
- Each table will be led by a HR professional who will share either a story, a solution, or support.
- The event will start and end with brief independent reflection to help you prepare for the session and gather your learning / actions before departing.
