Why it matters for HR and hospitality leaders
The UK professional body's main annual conference gathers senior people practitioners in Manchester to examine evidence-based HR, employment law change, organisational culture and the future of work. With the UK's employment rights reforms reshaping how employers manage contracts, scheduling and flexible work, it is especially relevant for hospitality and service operators that rely on large hourly and seasonal workforces.
