People Matters HR Away Day

This year’s programme blends practical insight, fresh thinking and meaningful conversation, all focused on supporting, developing and retaining your people.

Many managers step into leadership roles because of their technical expertise, only to find themselves responsible for teams, performance and complex people issues without the confidence or tools to handle those expectations. This day will help HR leaders better support those managers and strengthen leadership capability across the organisation.

What to expect

• Clear, practical context on the workplace reforms taking effect in 2026, helping you understand what has changed, where the immediate risks sit if nothing has been done, and what HR leaders should prioritise next, without technical overload.
• Thought-provoking discussion on how today’s multigenerational workforce is reshaping leadership, communication and culture, grounded in real workplace experience.
• Open, supportive conversations about the people topics organisations often struggle to address, including wellbeing and key life-stage transitions, with practical ideas you can take back to your organisation.
• A space for inclusive, honest discussion about how people experience work differently, and what HR can do day-to-day to create environments where individuals feel supported and able to perform at their best.
• Time to connect with peers, step away from the day-to-day, and reflect on your people strategy in a setting designed for thinking, not just listening.
