ONE MONTH TO GO and this one is proving popular!

AI adoption isn't just a technology challenge. It's a people challenge.

As AI changes how we work, the question for HR professionals and senior leaders isn't simply “How do we implement it?” It's “What will this change demand from our people?”

On 30th September, HR Huddle is exploring AI, Change & the Human Impact with Georgia Hodkinson, Organisational Psychologist.

We'll look at what happens when people are expected to adopt AI while still managing their existing workload and why what looks like resistance to AI could actually be fatigue, uncertainty or lack of capacity.

You'll explore how to:

✔️ Spot the human risks of AI-driven change
✔️ Understand how employees may respond to AI
✔️ Implement AI without simply adding another demand to people's working day

If you're leading AI adoption or supporting the people affected by it, this is a conversation you need to be part of.

Wednesday 30th September | 2–3.15pm | Online | FREE

💡 Thriving at Work: The Business Case with Caroline Mabon and Caroline Hampson from Compassionate Cultures – an interactive session looking at why how people feel at work matters to engagement, retention, resilience and performance.

🤝 Plus plenty of time to connect with other HR professionals and share experiences.

📅 14th October | 8.30am–12.30pm
📍 Market Harborough Building Society
🎟️ FREE to attend

Great temporary recruitment isn't just about filling vacancies. It's about understanding your business.

One of the relationships we're particularly proud of is our ongoing partnership with Harborough District Council.

Over time, we've supported the council with temporary recruitment as staffing needs have changed, helping them access experienced professionals quickly while maintaining essential services.

Because we've taken the time to understand their organisation, culture and requirements, we're able to respond quickly with candidates who are the right fit, not just available.

It's not about reacting to problems. It's about having a recruitment partner you can rely on when you need them most.
