Webinar – NQHR Training – Tackling Unconscious Bias

Date – 22 April 2021

Time – 09:30AM

We all have biases that we are unaware of and that have been developed during a lifetime of being exposed to more data than our conscious brain can manage.

These biases help us interpret and navigate the world but can be problematic when it comes to managing staff, particularly in how we recruit staff and make decisions that affect their working lives.

In this session we delve into this fascinating topic in greater detail and we consider how organisations can mitigate the effect of these biases

Who Should Attend?

Our training will benefit all staff who have a responsibility for HR issues within an organisation.

HR Consultants Caitlin Anniss , Sarah Martin and Helen Couchman from Narrow Quay HR,  will cover this interactive sesssion and include case studies and practical exercises to get delegates thinking.

If you have any queries, please contact the Events team by email

We hope you are able to join us.

Webinar – How to Fairly Consult With Staff to Survive a Coronavirus Downturn

Practical Tips on How to Fairly Consult With Staff to Survive a Coronavirus Downturn

In this free informal webinar, HR Consultants Caitlin Anniss and Sarah Martin from Narrow Quay HR and Jessica Scott-Dye from VWV will talk you through the practical steps a business needs to follow to ensure a consultation process is fair and compliant. We will also talk through how to consult with staff who are working remotely.

There are lots of different scenarios in which a business may need to consult with their staff. Unfortunately, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, some businesses are going to be in the difficult position of having to consider fairly significant measures in order to survive, particularly once furloughing staff is no longer an option. This might include salary cuts, part time working or even redundancies, all of which require consultation with staff.

There will be opportunities to ask questions and consider practical scenarios around how to tackle a consultation process in practice.

Cost: Free Entry

When: 18 Jun 2020

Time: 9.00am – 10.00am
