More About DisruptHR Norwich
Rebooted in 2022, DisruptHR Norwich is a community of innovative HR pros, TA pros, and leaders.
Are you tired of the same old approach to Human Resources? Are you ready to start talking about talent in a whole new way? DisruptHR is for you! This is unlike any other HR event in Norwich.
DisruptHR is built on the belief that how we’ve approached people and talent in the past won’t be the best way to approach them in the future. DisruptHR is founded on the idea that ALL business leaders (and that includes you, HR!) need to be ready to take some risks, to stir the pot…in short, to DISRUPT.
