2019 HR Forum Events Brisbane Done and Dusted… Bring on the 2020 Events Calendar!

Leanne Lazarus • December 15, 2019

It has been a great year partnering with HR professionals to identify hot topics in the marketplace and sourcing specialist presenters to share knowledge, information and ideas on what can be done to find a solution, offer suggestions and help drive change. This year we have held eight HR forums in Brisbane where we covered a variety of topics including:

  • Casualisation of the workforce
  • Managing Illness in the workplace
  • Unfair Dismissal vs General Protection Claims
  • Wellness in the workplace
  • What we can learn from the 2019 cases / claims

I have thrived with the opportunity to sit around a table of HR professionals from a very diverse range of industry sectors and hear their challenges, opportunities and success stories. Having limited seats means we get to keep it interactive / collaborative, where HR professionals are comfortable to share their industry challenges but also their best practices to help and support others. I would like to thank Jonathan Mamaril | NB Lawyers for Employers who has presented at several forums this year, focusing on legislation changes, requirements and updating us on current cases. In addition, Donna Benjamin , whose true passion for wellness and balance shines through in her approach and attitude for her presentation on Wellness in the workplace.

We look forward to the 2020 calendar where we will be working with our existing presenters and adding several new ones to ensure we are keeping abreast of changes, challenges and best practice in the marketplace.

If you are an HR professional based in Brisbane and would like to be notified of upcoming HR forum events, please reach out to the people2people team and we can update your details and ensure you receive the next invite!
