HR Breakfast Seminar

HR Breakfast Seminar – Employer Brand Marketing & PR to Transform Your Talent Attraction Strategy

When it comes to attracting talent, do you often feel like you’re searching for a needle in a haystack?

The skills shortage is listed as a top concern for many organisations, with business success and growth negatively impacted by not having the right team in place.

Candidates are the ones in the driving seat. They can often pick and choose where they wish to work – and their decision making goes far beyond salaries.

Do you want your company to be viewed as the place to work? As the best employer in the region?

Stats show that a strong employer brand attracts better applicants, decreases the time to hire, and reduces the cost per hire. And the long-term impact of employing the sought-after talent is exceeding your business objectives.

In addition, the work you do around your brand can significantly improve your staff retention.

Join us as we delve into the world of recruitment marketing and public relations, discussing and sharing ideas on how you can transform your talent attraction strategy through effective promotion of your employer brand.

This engaging event is being hosted exclusively for HR professionals and business owners, with speakers to include:

  • Anthony Bullick – Owner and MD of multi award-winning PR and communications agency Outwrite PR.
  • Cath Harrison – Talent attraction guru and MD of multi award-winning recruitment marketing company JVP Group.

The event will include time to network with fellow HR professionals and business owners, and a panel Q&A session where you can ask any questions you may have relating to recruitment and PR.

Where is the event?

JVP Group, New Vision Business Park, Glascoed Rd, St Asaph, LL17 0LP

Where can I park?

There is plenty of free parking close to the building.

When is the event?

The event will run from 8:00am to 10:30am on Wednesday 25th of September 2019.

In the immortal words of Bob Dylan “The times they are a-changin”.

From the landmark ‘Ethical Veganism’ case, to Samira Ahmed’s victorious claim for equal pay against the BBC, the employment law landscape is changing rapidly.

As an employer it can be hard to keep up. And with average tribunal awards for discrimination ranging from £5000 to £28,000, failing to safeguard your business can result in crippling costs.

Join us for an unmissable interactive event, where you can:

  • Tap into the extensive experience and knowledge of specialist speakers
  • Discuss any employment law / HR challenges you face in an open environment
  • Network with fellow HR professionals and business owners

Expert speakers:

The event will be hosted by Cath Harrison, MD of recruitment marketing company JVP Group, and specialist speakers will include:

Zoe Lyons: Bald Ambition – Cardigan

Zoe Lyons has kept herself busy in the last couple of years by having what can best be described as a monumental midlife crisis. It involved buying a sports car, having a brief marital separation and running a 100k ultra marathon which really didn’t end well. Along the way her hair decided the best thing to do was abandon ship. It ain’t easy being a middle aged woman: try doing it with a combover. Thankfully Zoe has been able to explore the funny side of all these twists and turns. It’s time to sell the silly car and try and put the wheels back on her life.

Zoe is the host of BBC2’s Lightning. She’s known as a star of Live at the Apollo and a regular on Have I Got News for You (BBC1), QI (BBC2), and Mock the Week (BBC2). Other credits include Celebrity Antiques Road Trip (BBC2), Stand Up and Deliver (C4), House of Games (BBC2). Zoe is an immediately recognisable voice on Radio 4 as a regular on The News Quiz, Just a Minute, The Unbelievable Truth and The Now Show, and also co-hosts Frank Skinner’s show on Absolute Radio.

Hal Cruttenden ‘It’s Best You Hear It From Me’Hal Cruttenden

After 21 years and 224 days Hal’s back being single. But it’s all going to be fine. Instead of getting the therapy he clearly needs, he’s made a cracking show about it. He’s lost enough weight to almost get his wedding ring off and, while he may be flying solo, he’s far from alone; he’s got his grown-up daughters, his dogs and his divorce lawyer. The fickle finger of fate has turned Hal’s life upside down but he’s sticking a finger right back at it.
