Hi everyone,
I wanted to let you know about a great event being organised by the Manchester CIPD branch on the 16th October.
The theme of the event is Social HR and it promises to be a fantastic event with a great line up and a unique approach.
It's going to be a blend of an Unconference and a Conference with some formal structured elements with some free flowing creative activities as well.
It is also great value or money as it's ONLY £25..........yes £25..........to CIPD student members and only £50 to members and non-members alike.
This is a great CPD and development opportunity to learn more about the hottest topic in HR right now. Take a look at the details below and sign up today - see you there!
"We are planning a social HR conference for everyone, from experts on the subject, to beginners, to business owners, to HR professionals and students. Beginners will be taught how to set up the social media websites that are relevant to them thanks to workshops and reverse mentoring. Others will have a chance to experience their first HR Unconference or tweet HR professionals from the other side of the world.
There will be plenty of time for networking for students and workshops on how to use social media in order to become more employable. We will of course also look at the other aspect of social recruitment. And how could we possibly leave social learning and MOOCs behind?
This conference promises to have something for everyone and the best speakers on the subject. You will learn new tools and feel confident in using them and giving social media a go."
