The CIPD Festival of Work unites HR leaders and people professionals across sectors — 130+ speakers, 150 sessions and real-world solutions over two days.
Our sessions on AI in HR cover how organisations are using tools such as Access Evo to automate routine tasks, surface workforce insights, and reduce admin time. We focus on practical applications rather than theory, with real examples from HR teams already using AI day to day.
Payroll legislation changes regularly, and keeping up can be time-consuming. Our payroll compliance sessions break down the latest HMRC guidance, National Minimum Wage updates, and reporting obligations, with clear guidance on what HR and payroll teams need to do.
These sessions look at how organisations plan, schedule, and manage their workforce more effectively. Topics include shift planning, absence management, and how data from workforce management tools can inform resourcing decisions.
We cover the full hiring process, from writing job descriptions through to onboarding. Sessions include practical guidance on reducing time to hire, improving candidate experience, and using data to identify where recruitment processes can be improved.
Our engagement sessions focus on what HR teams can measure and act on, including pulse surveys, absence trends, and manager effectiveness. We look at how organisations use data from their HR platform to identify engagement risks early.
These sessions are aimed at HR teams that want to make better use of the data already in their HR system. We cover how to build useful dashboards, which metrics matter most to senior leaders, and how to present workforce data in a way that supports decision-making.
Sessions on HR strategy look at how people leaders are aligning their function with wider business goals. Topics include workforce planning, organisational design, and how to build a business case for HR investment.
Our employment law sessions are delivered in plain language and cover the practical implications of legislative changes for HR teams. Topics include changes to flexible working rights, redundancy processes, and updates to family leave entitlements.
We look at how HR teams are improving the onboarding experience for new starters, from pre-boarding communications through to the end of the probation period. Sessions include examples of how Access PeopleXD Evo customers have reduced time to productivity for new hires.
