AI isn’t just changing technology, it’s changing how your people work, communicate and even feel.
About this Event

Many businesses are starting to explore AI in tools and processes but haven’t yet stepped back to think about the longer-term impact on their teams. From reshaping roles to shifting skills and expectations, AI is already influencing the way we all work.

Whether you’re using AI actively or not, these changes will affect you and your business.

Why this matters:

· Many businesses go straight to the doing, automating tasks and processes before thinking about people implications

· Teams can feel anxious, excluded or unclear about what AI means for them

· Poor communication or lack of transparency can undermine trust and culture

· HR strategies that don’t evolve will quickly become outdated or overtaken

About the Session:

This practical roundtable will help you understand what’s changing, what your people will need, and how to update your people strategy to stay ahead.

We’ll cover:

1. How AI is already influencing roles, workloads and skills

2. The cultural, ethical and emotional risks that can get overlooked

3. What good planning looks like, across L&D, communication and engagement

4. Examples of how other employers are beginning to adapt their approach

What you’ll leave with:

· A clearer view of how AI links to your workforce and people planning

· Key questions to ask around roles, skills, support and structure

· Practical ideas you can take back to your team and plan around

Who’s it for?

This session is designed for business owners; HR leads and operational managers. You don’t need to be rolling out AI yet, just ready to think ahead and support your people through change.

Arrival for drinks and pastries at 09:00 a.m. (please inform us beforehand of any dietary requirements). Opportunity to network after the event finishes at 11:00 a.m.
