Positive HR Conference 2022

Positive HR forum meeting in Staffordshire

Announcing our first annual HR conference

Building on the success of our bi-monthly forum meetings, the Positive HR Forum is excited to announce that our first annual conference will be taking place in December.

Getting HR Ready for 2023

The Positive HR Conference will bring together HR Professionals and People Leaders from different organisations to discuss and address some of the latest people challenges faced by businesses today and equip them with the tools to proactively respond to these.

Our conference theme is ‘Getting HR Ready for 2023’. During the day we will be listening to Business Leaders talk about the HR challenges they have overcome and learning from technical specialists on topics which will be relevant to HR in the new year.

Why attend the Positive HR Conference?

HR / People Leadership is both demanding and difficult, not least by the challenges experienced over the last couple of years. Constantly changing, it can feel like no sooner have we reacted to one big shift in direction then the world changes and we are onto the next.

The aim of the Positive HR Conference is to take some time out to come together with your peer group, share experiences and learn from each other to motivate and get ready for the year ahead.

What people have said about the Positive HR Forum

"The forum gives members the opportunity to gain knowledge of the ways of working and insights from different business sectors as well as networking opportunities. The forum is a friendly and relaxed group where suggested topics or current topics of interest are discussed. I personally feel that my requests are listened to and support is given where possible. It’s a forum for the members and has the local business community and charities at its heart."
Heather Kennedy - HR Specialist - Fiskars Group
"The HR Forum is a great group to be part of. Group members are encouraged to suggest meeting topics, this ensures that meetings are relevant to the HR profession. Many of the speakers have really challenged the way I think and this has helped me in my role as Head of HR at Blakemans. The group is also very welcoming and there is a clear ‘no selling’ message. Overall I would encourage anyone involved in HR or training to join the forum."
Jane Selman - Head of H.R. Blakemans
"The Positive HR Forum is a great opportunity to network with like minded people. I've made some excellent contacts and learned a lot through sharing knowledge and good practice."
Louise Warrillow, HR Manager - Staffordshire & Merseyside Hub Co-op Academies Trust
"Spending time to reflect and discuss important topics, as well as just having a chat over a coffee, is what the Positive HR Forum does so well. We all know that talking things through makes for better decision making and gives you little nuggets of ‘I never thought of it like that’! Kaye is a great host and always ensures that it’s entertaining as well as thought-provoking and informative. It’s always time well spent."
Tracey Johnson, HR Director, Leek United Building Society
"The Positive HR Forum is an extremely supportive and insightful group to be involved with. The broad range of sometimes difficult topics explored is consistently informative and motivational and it’s very helpful indeed to discuss them together in the open forum setting. I really value being a member and sharing ideas and responses with others and would recommend joining to HR colleagues in whatever sector you work."
Anita Sherratt – Head of HR, Emma Bridgewater Ltd
"The forum is an asset to the profession, it is wonderful to have such a fabulous group that are so invested in their people."
Sarah Mockridge - The Dove Service
