The HR Leadership Alliance

Why should you attend the 2010 Annual Congress of the HR Leadership Alliance?

We all know that the single most important asset for any business is its people and it is an organisation’s workforce and leaders that will see the company through this difficult period. Therefore, the responsibility falls onto HR to make the most of this valuable asset in order to steer the business through the stormy waters to recovery. In difficult times like this, with the risk of budgets shrinking, leaders struggling, performance and engagement levels drooping, and the need for drastic change, this offers an excellent opportunity for HR to step up to the mark and demonstrate its strategic position and worth within an organisation.

At the 2010 Annual Congress of the HR Leadership Alliance you will learn about the proven cost-efficient tools, key learnings, and best practice techniques that your global award-winning peers have used to move their business forward and help their organisations to come out of the recession stronger than before. Following extensive research, our comprehensive and streamed

agenda will focus on the four key themes in HR; Managing Change, Employee Performance and Engagement, Leadership and Strategic HR, to allow you to tailor the programme to overcome your main challenges and questions.

"An excellent, well organised event bringing together some of the very best practices and experiences in HR."

‘I have attended many HR conferences, and I can safely say this was the very best. Listening to and meeting Dave Ulrich, sharing insights with thought leaders and senior HR professionals, the quality of the content of presentations and debates, all made for a fantastic networking and learning event so thank you.’

“I can sincerely state that I have rarely seen so many experts and talents under the same roof as this Conference. The Conference has managed to attract the top HR experts and people from various international corporations/ brands, who spoke so sincerely not only about their subject field but with equal honesty about their organizations.”

“I really enjoyed the session with David Ulrich, I have seen him speak a number of times but always come away with something new and relevant. He always challenges my thinking, it was an excellent session"

“It’s rare that an opportunity presents itself where you can take a critical business issue, challenge your thinking and shape a resolution......all in an environment that is at the same time creative and confidential, both supportive and testing. The HR Leadership Alliance event gave me the platform to have meaningful debate with like-minded peers. Naturally stimulating, the key benefit was that this experience had been gained in very different operating settings - from business and industry to government and academia. Some great ideas were therefore generated...”

“The HR Leadership Alliance meeting was an energising exchange of ideas and concepts with a group of senior professionals. We all gained enlightening insights into truly diverse ways of setting business-relevant agendas. An open, honest and action-oriented debate - a refreshing change to many other conferences and meetings. Well done!”
