HR Forum: Balancing autonomy with support, reliance and visibility

Our HR Forums, sponsored by BP Collins, bring together senior practitioners from our larger members, to hear the latest HR trends, share knowledge, learn from first-hand experience and exchange opinions with other like-minded professionals from across all sectors.​

As organisations embrace more flexible and self-directed work, the challenge lies in maintaining the right balance; empowering employees with autonomy while ensuring they feel supported, connected, and visible.​

This forum explores how HR can foster trust and independence without losing alignment or accountability. Our speakers will share insights and ideas on essential skills for employees and managers to build empowered, resilient teams, and on the legal obligations and implications that we need to keep front of mind. Together we’ll discuss strategies for encouraging collaboration, providing meaningful support, and maintaining healthy visibility.​

Once we’ve wrapped-up the discussion, event hosts HR Wallingford are kindly offering all attendees the opportunity of an optional tour of their impressive site.

Chair

Claire Madle – Learning and Development Manager, HR Wallingford

We look forward to welcome the following speakers:

Our session will conclude with an open discussion with the opportunity to ask questions, share best practice and discuss challenges and opportunities.
