Midlands Social Housing HR Forum
This remodelled service proved a great success last year, when a total of 18 Housing Associations from the West and East Midlands subscribed. Meetings regularly attract 15+ delegates.
The Forum offers
- 3 half – day meetings per year held in venues in and around Birmingham
- a network of colleagues working in both personnel and training
- an opportunity to get immediate feedback and ideas on your current ‘hot’ issues or problems
- formal inputs on topics you choose plus regular legal updates
- an opportunity to meet your CPD requirements
- a forum for benchmarking, and
- bespoke local events from time to time, open to non-members by agreement and marketed separately.
The Forum is facilitated by Central Consultancy & Training on behalf of the members, and includes regular legal updates from Elizabeth Hargreaves of Cobbetts. Last year’s topics included:
- flexible benefits
- performance management
