HRM Hot Topics Series is an opportunity for practitioners in Human Resource Management (HRM), alumni, students and academics to come together to discuss current thinking and share experiences of applying HRM strategy in practice.

In this series, you will meet leading HRM specialists, from different sectors, from aviation, health, technology, financial services, etc. They will discuss their background (many of whom started their HRM journey at Kingston University), and their own perspective of applying HRM strategy in practice, including sector trends, key topics and challenges.



The sessions are interactive, including audience Q&A, and networking drinks.

There will also be plenty of time for Q&A, followed by refreshments and networking.
