Colleagues attending will be able to talk about your recruitment needs, and attracting the best talent. Also, offering surgeries and advice relating to employee relations issues you may be facing. We are particularly keen to meet those who are new in role and answer any HR queries you may not have come across before.’ Sarah Keyes, HR Service Director
