People Summit Series

Our People Summit Series brings together strategic decision-makers, experienced HR practitioners and senior executives responsible for managing, retaining and attracting talented people.

Our latest People Summit Series explored three related themes:

1. Bringing talent to the UK: Hamza Malik explored the challenges of sourcing the right skills and experience from abroad, particularly following Brexit – and the main routes now available to employers looking to recruit from outside the UK.
2. Managing remote workers overseas: Kim Wedral-Rooke guided usthrough the issues to consider when dealing with requests from employees who want to relocate to (or remain permanently in) a country where the employer does not have an established presence.
3. Re-evaluating business travel: Dom Holmes led the discussion on changing attitudes to business travel, in light of widespread adoption of video-conferencing and increased corporate awareness of environmental responsibility.

A summary of the topics discussed during the session is available here.

What happened at the last event?

At our previous People Summit Series event, we explored the increasing use of technology in recruitment processes by employers of all sizes.

With expert contributions from Joy Poole (Founding Partner of Emergence) and Riham Satti (CEO and Co-Founder of MeVitae), we discussed how a blended approach of tech and human input leads to robust, merit-based hiring decisions that deliver real value to employers.
