Centre Proposition
The proposition for Centre membership is based upon an annual membership fee of £12,000 each year over a 3 year membership commitment. The Centre intends to build a network of around 20 organisations for this next phase of work.
The core offerings of the Centre to members comprise of:
1. The running of Special Interest Groups (SIGs). The current SIGs –Talent ,OD, and Engagement have proved very successful and developed from an arena for an exchange of best practice, research and publications into genuine developmental forums with specific outputs such as the Talent SIG’s Boardroom Engagement research and the OD Best Practice Process. We will also develop new SIGs provisionally in the areas of Global HR and HR Strategy. With these new SIGs we would continue the practice of pairing a Practitioner Lead with a Centre Academic Lead.
2. The production of three research-based White Papers annually. Our White Papers have been received enthusiastically externally and have frequently involved our partners in development. We will continue and build further the involvement process. White Paper topics will be developed in consultation with our partners. The White Papers will address a number of topics already identified by HR Directors:
- The impact on HR of performance needs for productivity, innovation and customer centricity;
- The challenges of global integration
- The management of cross-organisation HR delivery models
- The nature of sustainable leadership
- The creation of HR Insight into key employee perceptions and behaviours.
3. Access to the Centre Intranet and the information resources it contains.
CPHR can also offer an “annual conference” activity, on a cost only basis, targeted at our HR Directors and their senior teams, and run at an attractive conference venue with a mix of high quality practitioner and academic inputs.
