CIPD Wales Event Guide 2021 – 2022
Welcome to our programme of branch
activity for 2021-2022
I'm delighted to present our programme of events for
the current year.
We continue to follow both government and CIPD
guidelines in relation to event delivery, and are
cautiously optimistic that we can resume some face-to-
face networking in the new year.
In the meantime our virtual events have given us the
opportunity this year to bring experts from CIPD to the
programme.
My thanks go to the branch teams for their efforts in
identifying new and topical subjects which align with
the "new" world of work that we find ourselves in.
I look forward to meeting you all either online or in
person during the course of the year.
Best wishes
Caroline Belasco
Regional Facilitator

fierce competition for talent. The importance of employer brand

critical. This event offers insights, trends and practical tips, plus a
