In brief:

The ‘credit crunch’ has hit – and is affecting all industry sectors. The economic experts now say that the ‘recession’ will be longer and deeper than previously forecast. This inevitably means dismissals, reorganisations, workforce restructures and other changes to ensure business survival and appropriate positioning to steer the organisation through the recession and into a position to capitalise when the upturn comes. Being properly prepared is half the battle - especially for HR professionals.

Being able to provide key people data and performance figures to the board has never been more important at a time when potential reorganisations, restructures or redundancies are on the horizon. In recent years businesses have focused much energy and resource into attracting key talent to their organisations - yet there is a danger that in these tough economic times this huge investment will be quashed by knee-jerk cost-cutting which may result in a huge loss of talent.

To facilitate business success in times of economic turbulence HR must not only ensure their talent management strategy is robust but must also be equipped with the skills and knowledge to manage and implement any organisational restructure, be aware of their legal responsibilities, maximise the use of their available resources, and communicate effectively with their key people.

This conference will equip today's forward-thinking HR professional with the skills and knowledge to thrive in the current economic climate. You will hear contributions from key business leaders, organisational change specialists, leading HR professionals and legal experts and take away key learning to maximise your personal impact within your business.
