Local CIPD networking and learning opportunities for HR & People Professionals in Manchester
The government’s white paper on a future post-Brexit immigration policy looks set to have a dramatic impact on employers, especially low-skilled ones if they are implemented. What would the impact of a 30k minimum salary threshold be on your organisation? Join us on 12 August in Manchester with Gerwyn Davies CIPD Public Policy Adviser to discuss.
Rachel and Mike reflect on the CIPD Manchester neurodiversity at work campaign (including brilliant blogs from people across the HR and L&D sectors) and draw out the key points of interest.
Neurodiversity can be a key, rather than a barrier to success, with the right support in place. Fully understanding the different neurodiverse conditions and how they may affect an individual at work, arms organisations with the information needed to provide their employees with the appropriate reasonable adjustments.
Parental leave policies need to better reflect the changing nature of modern families and progress gender equality at work. Greater employer provision of flexible working is essential to help families balance caring responsibilities within and beyond a child’s first year. By thinking more creatively about the types of flexible working they can offer, and ensuring it's available at all levels of seniority, employers are more likely to hold on to talented people who can progress their careers with the organisation.
Employers are becoming more aware of the benefits of a neurodiverse workforce and are making changes to encourage and support individuals with neurodivergent conditions. Organisations can develop processes and procedures that encourage people with neurodivergent conditions into the workplace and allow for reasonable adjustments. #NeurodiversityAtWork
