NQHR Club: Artificial Intelligence in HR
2024-02-29 09:00 - 10:00 UTC | Virtual Online Event
In our next HR Club we will be looking at the topic of Artificial Intelligence. We are delighted to welcome Sue Turner OBE, who is the founding director of AI Governance, a Bristol-based consultancy with the mission to inspire leaders to use AI with wisdom and integrity.
We know that a lot of HR professionals will be grappling with this topic and thinking about how AI can be used within their organisation but may feel they don’t have enough understanding of what’s involved and have concerns about whether the use of AI in areas such as recruitment could give rise to unfairness.
Sue said:
“I predict that this year HR leaders will be bombarded with suppliers offering third-party tools that purport to be using AI. It’s vital to know what the opportunities and pitfalls are of using AI so you can ask the right questions to ensure in-house and external tools deliver value for you.”
In this session Sue will share insights with us on:

What is AI anyway?
Opportunities to use AI in HR
Risks that this brings
How to move forward with AI in your team.

Who should attend?
Those with responsibility for HR within their organisation and anyone with an interest in the topic.

Sue and the team from Narrow Quay HR will welcome your questions too. We think this session will be extremely thought-provoking and really popular so we highly recommend you book early to secure your place.

NQHR Club - Women's Health and the Workplace
2023-12-07 09:00 - 10:00
In our December HR club, we are discussing women’s health. We will be looking at the breadth of this topic – from menstrual health, gynaecological conditions, pregnancy and fertility treatments to menopause, mental wellbeing and domestic abuse. We’ll consider why it is important for businesses to focus on supporting women’s health and finish with practical steps that employers can take to raise awareness, break the taboo and stigma associated with women’s health issues and effect real change.
We’ll be joined in the session by our expert colleagues at VWV, who will be explaining the relevance of legal frameworks, how women’s health issues interact with the current Equality Act framework and areas of focus in the Women’s Health Strategy for England. They will also be outlining how employers can mitigate risk.
This will be a really good session for HR professionals and business leaders who are looking to review existing workplace practices or to implement new strategies.

NQHR Club - Restructures
2023-09-14 09:00 - 10:00
Narrow Quay HR has been involved in supporting clients on various restructures over recent months and will be covering the key insights gained at this quarterly HR club webinar.
Why you should attend?
We’re collaborating with our expert colleagues at VWV, who will provide valuable insights into the legal aspects of restructuring and change management. This includes explaining the legal frameworks and regulations that organisations must adhere to during such processes.JE
They can also delve into the concept of ‘fire and re-hire,’ which has gained significant attention in the media lately. This concept refers to the practice of terminating employees’ contracts and subsequently rehiring them under new terms and conditions, which can be a contentious issue. VWV can discuss the legal implications, best practices, and potential pitfalls related to this approach.
Narrow Quay HR will focus on planning and process. This involves carefully evaluating the organizational needs, defining clear objectives, and devising a comprehensive strategy. We will also share practical tips and real-life experiences on how to effectively engage with employees. Employee engagement is critical during periods of change, as it helps mitigate resistance, foster a positive work culture, and ensure the success of the restructure.
This will be a really good session for HR professionals who are about to lead on a change project or restructure within their organisation or for senior leaders and managers who will have ‘on the ground’ responsibilities for implementing a restructure.
