Ireland's leading HR and employment law training provider has teamed up with global HR services group Penna, Ireland's Symbio HR Solutions and top legal firm Arthur Cox to design an interactive and engaging programme for this year's premier HR event.
Description
We invite you to attend our Symposium for senior and experienced HR professionals in Ireland. Speakers and facilitators include senior HR Directors, legal experts from Arthur Cox and other specialists including global HR Services Group Penna and Ireland's Symbio HR Solutions. Hear about and learn from their experiences and take away practical tips that you can utilise in everyday business.
Why attend this event?
It takes more than hard work to get out of a recession and financial crisis as deep as this. Employees need inspiration from leaders determined to succeed. You need ideas, but not only ideas, you need practical ideas that you can apply in your workplace. This event combines some of Ireland's top HR and business leaders with practical, in-depth workshops to give inspired ideas that have improved employee and organisational performance during these tough economic times.
All sessions have practical 'takeaways' of template documents, checklists, FAQs and top tips from experts. You choose the sessions likely to best suit your needs - but will receive information from all workshops.
Who should attend?
This conference is open to Chief Executives, Senior and experienced HR professionals and Managers. This is the ideal place to keep up-to-date with the latest strategic thinking and hear how other organisations are dealing with performance issues and other challenges during these tough times.
Consider these questions:
- What have the successful organisations done and how can I replicate that?
- Alternatively, what have the not-so-successful organisations done and how can I avoid making the same mistakes?
- If some areas are starting to come out of recession, what strategies do I, as a HR professional, need in place NOW?
- How do these fit in with an overall business strategy so that we can take advantage of any improving situation?

"The day was extremely informative, with real-life practical examples, providing plently of food for thought. It highlighted the importance of how clarity, and small initiatives, can have a direct impact on staff and therefore the 'bottom line'. Very professional, friendly. Presented a very good image of Legal Island" - Mairead Flanagan, HR Manager, St. Patricks University College.
"It was my first time at a legal Island event and I will definitely look out for others" - Catherine Johnston, HR Manager, Marine Institute.
