MEL | HR Circle: Balancing Business & People Needs in a Changing Workplace

HR Circle

The HR Circle offers members an exclusive opportunity to discuss current challenges and developments within the industry and share expertise and experience with each other. Human Resources is no longer a job that simply "has to be done" or can be treated as an afterthought. In current times, we have seen the battle for talent, onshore and offshore, as well as staff retention, discussed more than ever. The average person changes their career three to seven times during their lifetime which puts additional pressure on the role of an HR professional - keeping staff engaged, and motivated and providing them with room for growth and development. Additionally, we deal with changes to laws, whether that's employment law, data privacy or else, and of course the implementation of artificial intelligence in the profession. Many companies don't have a diverse and large team in HR, so we are offering our member organisations and their respective HR professionals to meet and openly learn and share together. All our Circles are following the Chatham House Rules.

This session's topic: Balancing Business & People Needs in a Changing Workplace

Join us for an engaging HR Circle hosted by SCHOTT MINIFAB. In the session, we will analyse how today’s evolving workplace dynamics — from economic shifts to changing employee expectations — are reshaping how we lead, engage, and retain talent.

As organisations face periods of growth, uncertainty, or transformation, HR leaders are juggling business realities with rising demands around flexibility, compensation, progression, and purpose.

We will explore generational perspectives and share practical strategies for managing this balance — keeping people motivated, connected, and supported.

Light breakfast will be served.

This is an invite only HR Circle, exclusive to members and with limited spaces.
