Networking - Local Authority HR Business Partner Network

Hi, 

I am looking to see if anyone working in local authority HR would be interested in setting up a HR business partner network where we can network, share ideas, discuss common ground etc. 

It would be lovely to hear from others in this role who would like to create a place where we can reach out and sound thing out from other perspectives if needed. 

  • Might be worth checking with the LGA or your local employers organisation to see if they have anything.

    If not, 'build it and they will come'
  • Hi. I’m not sure what are of the UK you are based in. Scotland has the Society of Personnel and Development Scotland (SPDS). That supports HR professionals in Scotland. If your not based here you could perhaps look at their website/materials and take some insight from those to help inform any setup? 

  • The idea of uniting specialists from local authorities into a single network will definitely find a response from many colleagues, because work in the public sector has its own unique specifics. When developing the structure of consultations and training modules for participants, the experience of analysing Mobe programs will help to avoid standard errors when organising remote cooperation. A platform for a quick exchange of ideas will improve the quality of decision-making in personnel policy. I am ready to support the initiative and participate in the formation of this community.
