About this event
CIPD Members Only | Limited to 30 Participants
Ahead of our evening event, we're delighted to offer CIPD members the opportunity to join Eric Barends for a small, interactive masterclass exploring how to apply evidence-based thinking to real HR challenges.
When faced with a difficult people decision, how do we know we're making the right recommendation? Particularly when everyone has an opinion, the evidence isn't always clear and HR is expected to provide an answer.
Supported by Munster Technological University, this event offer the participants an opportunity to work in small groups to explore a realistic HR challenge, question assumptions, consider different sources of evidence and work towards a recommendation. Eric will guide the discussion, sharing practical approaches that can be applied to everyday HR decisions.
This is an opportunity to work directly with Eric in a smaller group, learn from fellow practitioners and develop practical skills to support better people decisions.
It should be an interesting opportunity to challenge our thinking, question a few assumptions and perhaps look at some familiar HR practices in a different light.
Who should attend?
This masterclass is designed for senior HR professional and experienced practitioners with some familiarity with, and an interest in, evidence based management, who want to strengthen its application to strategic people decisions.
Places are strictly limited to CIPD members and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Advance registration is essential.
Attending both events? Please ensure you book each session separately to secure your place for both.
