Event Will Help Coventry and Warwickshire Businesses With Employment Issues

Businesses in Coventry and Warwickshire can take advantage of some free expert advice on everything from recruitment and retention through to managing staffing issues at an event this November.

The Coventry and Warwickshire Employability Group is a partnership established by the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce and includes senior HR professionals, local employers, LEP and Local Authority representatives.  

It is staging an ‘SME – HR Resource and Support Centre’ on Friday, November 15 at 2pm at the Brandon Hall Hotel as part of the Coventry and Warwickshire Business Festival.

Businesspeople will be able to hear from a range of experts on a series of topics including staff rewards, apprenticeships, the management & wellbeing of staff and alternative avenues to recruitment.

Angela Roberts, of The HR Consultancy, chairs the Employability Group which meets three times a year to help address issues around employment in the region.

Angela said: “We wanted to bring together a range of expertise in one room to offer businesses some free advice on a whole host of topics that relate to staff and employment.

“It could be anything from dealing with a particularly difficult HR issue through to thinking outside the box when you are looking to recruit.

“It won’t be a case of coming along, sitting down and having a ‘set menu’ of speakers. Businesses can choose the people and the topics that are of most interest to them and then head to that area of the room to hear from them and ask questions.

“There will be lots of partners in the room and it will be great to have such a range of experts all in one place.”
