About this event

Please join us for our monthly online networking event. Each session will run from 12:00 for a maximum of 1 hour. These events will be held on the third Tuesday of every month. Dates for your calendar:

  • 21 January
  • 18 February
  • 18 March
  • 15 April
  • 20 May
  • 17 June

Please note that you must register separately for each session.


The aim of this network is to connect CIPD HR professionals across the North of Scotland and Islands at any stage in their HR career, providing peer-to-peer learning to those who wish to develop their HR skillset by accessing support, validation and signposting from HR peers.

The session is a learning opportunity for those in the earlier stages of their career and more of a sharing/mentoring opportunity for those who have long honed their HR skillset. Please bring with you some ideas for discussion and a desire to share your challenges, ideas or learnings with those who attend.

Participants attending will create the agenda by advising whether they have an issue they wish to share and grade its’ importance to them from 1-3. Each session will attempt to cover all issues, but triaged based on its level of importance. A safe space will be created by not sharing any recording or notes of content, instead, the benefit of attendance is from using peers to probe issues and help participants drive their own actions. CIPD committee members will be in attendance to facilitate the session but not necessarily provide all the answers, that's the job of our peers either on the day or with further signposting.

We hope this network grows, develops and supports each other in our HR roles and we would welcome feedback after the event in this respect.
