Self-employed network: Keeping your business relevant

Join us for an engaging, in-person session designed for self-employed HR, L&D, OD consultants who want to stay current and competitive.
About this Event

This session will be hosted by Debbie Molyneux of Highlight People, and Caia Slater of Partnering 2 Excel.

Together, through round table discussion, we’ll explore how to maintain compliance and best practice, how to tailor your offerings to current client needs while future-proofing services, and anticipating the needs of future clients by monitoring trends and developing new toolkits or solutions.

Expect active participation and discussion, practical ideas, and the chance to connect and network with peers who share your drive to keep their HR consultancy thriving.
