2026 Human Resources Series

Description

The 2026 Human Resources Series is designed to equip HR leaders and people managers in financial services with the insight, tools and confidence needed to navigate an increasingly complex people risk and regulatory landscape.

Across eight focused sessions, the series explores how HR strategy directly impacts organisational performance, culture, resilience and reputation. Topics span reward and performance, inclusion and fairness, talent attraction and retention, workforce planning, wellbeing, misconduct and whistleblowing, and the ethical use of people data.

Practical, forward-looking and grounded in the realities of regulated financial services environments, this series supports HR professionals in moving beyond compliance to drive sustainable performance, manage risk and build resilient, high-performing organisations.

The series is delivered live online via Microsoft TEAMS and recorded where possible. Each webinar provides 1-hour of CPD.
