Good morning, I am trying to find if people out there value the events that the local CIPD branches hold, I have been part of the committee for our local group for sometime now and am finding it increasingly frustrating, we hold around 8 events a year on a wide variety of topics, but find that we have an average attendance of around 15 people attend each one.
We are also finding it incredibly difficult to find people who are willing to volunteer to join the committee, which means much bigger workload for the few that have joined, and also I worry that we are not putting on events on topics that are interesting to those who are new to HR, we do ask for ideas from all those that attend, but very few people are even willing to contribute these!
There is also very little recognition from CIPD for the work that the volunteers do (not even a Christmas Card!)
I would be interested in getting your feedback,
