“How can HR adapt to survive and develop in the 21st Century?"
The real concern for business in the current labour market environment is managing people.
This pressure has resulted in a people management function undergoing a radical transformation focusing on its role and existence.
The old people management function previously titled personnel management and later human resource management is now transforming itself into three major ways - leadership and culture; development and training; and performance and rewards. This is more than a change of terminology, this is fundamentally changing the expectations and the responsibilities of the people management role.
Come along on the 23rd of March and be part of the debate.
In addition to significant interest in this event from LHRC members, the LSE and its alumni, we are anticipating that a considerable number of guests from the wider HR community, the media and other interested parties will attend and are expecting around 150 in total.
The evening will begin at 6.30pm. Finger food and wine will be served after the debate and the evening will finish at 8.45pm.
Location: The London School of Economics, New Academic Building 54 Lincoln's Inn Fields LONDON, WC2A 3LJ
Date and Time: Tuesday 23rd March 2010 6:30 PM
Feedback
I enjoyed the debate very much and appreciated the chance to network and socialise with others.The speakers were well prepared and had very interesting and relevant tales to tell.

Another solid session, thoroughly enjoyable and insightful in equal measure. I feel having the perspective on an SME or smaller organisation on the panel would have added interesting variety showcasing the differing challenges we all face. Also a longer session would have been preferable to allow full debate of the issues / questioned raised.

A lot of interesting comments and it would have been really good to have more time to discuss. Perhaps small discussion groups who can debate a particular area of interest. It may have been if the speakers had not spoken too much about other companies. It did come over slightly academic and more industry HR practitioners woudl have been good.
