HR topics covered at our events

AI in HR

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 compliance

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.

Workforce management

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.

Talent acquisition

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.

Employee engagement

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.

People analytics

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.

HR strategy

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.

Employment Law

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.

Onboarding

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.
