HR diary date

According to CIPD research, 53% of organisations have restructured their HR function in the past year, such changes having been driven largely by a desire to make HR a more strategic contributor to business success. Problems they’ve encountered have ranged from limited resources or inadequate technology to trouble redefining job roles. On 14 May, the CIPD will examine The Changing Face of the HR Function, in a conference to be held at Jury’s Great Russell Street, London. Featuring the latest CIPD research as well as case studies from organisations which have undergone a successful restructure, the conference is relevant to all those working in HR strategy or organisational development.

Speakers will include: Maria Antoniou, Group HR Director, Transport for London: Jacquie Heany, Deputy Director, HR Professionalism, Cabinet Office; and Mike Taylor, Director HR Transformation and Systems, Vodafone Group Services.
