HR Departmental forum

Our next departmental forum will be running on Monday 2 March

The aim of the forum - which had its first meeting in November - is to provide an opportunity for HR and departments to talk about changes and developments in HR practice and administration.

Departments are usually represented by their departmental manager and/or HR contact. If your department hasn't yet nominated any representatives, or you would like to put a subject forward for discussion, please contact katie.ramli@york.ac.uk.

The next event, themed on diet and nutrition, is happening on 25 March from 5:30pm. Booking for the event will be available soon.
