Lunch & Learn session for Senior HR & Procurement Leaders
About this Event

Today’s workforce landscape is more complex and interconnected than ever. The rapid growth of contractors, freelancers, SOW and gig talent — alongside skills scarcity, cost pressures and increasing regulation — is fundamentally reshaping how organisations access and manage talent.

As a result, the traditional boundaries between HR and Procurement are becoming increasingly blurred. Senior leaders across both functions are being asked to collaborate more closely to design, govern and enable a blended workforce that is agile, compliant and fit for the future.

This complimentary, invitation-only Lunch & Learn brings together senior HR and Procurement leaders to explore what a successful blended workforce looks like in practice — and how it is built collaboratively.

Generously hosted by Morson at their Manchester offices, this interactive workshop will focus on one critical question:

Who owns what in today’s blended workforce — and how do HR and Procurement build it together?

All with a strong focus on practical, real-world challenges, decision-making and approaches used by leading organisations.


Key Themes We’ll Cover:

  • Workforce trends driving the growth of blended workforce models
  • Evolving ownership models between HR and Procurement
  • Mitigating compliance and risk in contingent labour (including IR35 and misclassification)
  • Assessing and managing contingent labour technology, including VMS and AI-enabled sourcing
  • Governance, accountability and the role of hiring managers
  • The impact of AI on future workforce strategy and decision-making
  • Why HR and Procurement must build the workforce of tomorrow — together
