This half-day structured Reflective Workshop on Employer Engagement
offers facilitated group discussions on key issues related to
professional bodies and are a great opportunity to get expert advice,
share best practice, find out about helpful resources and learn about
trends in the sector.
About the Employer Engagement workshop
What does an employer look like in your sector? Sole practitioners, private practices, SMEs, large professional services firms, public or private sector? Do employers have a clear identity within your sector? Do you engage strategically with them?
Following on from PARN’s ‘Why Join?’ project, this workshop will take a deeper look at the different approaches and initiatives that professional bodies are using to engage with employers in their sector and the benefits that this has for the organisation and their membership.
Discussion will focus on interesting approaches to employer engagement, where problems or barriers arise and how these have been overcome.
Who should attend?
These workshops are aimed at CEO and strategic-level thinkers at
professional bodies. They are ideal for staff who need to be forward
thinking and in touch with current trends and best practice.
Format for the workshop
The workshop will begin at 12pm with a presentation from PARN
to contextualise the topic, followed by a networking lunch around 1pm.
Then the workshop will continue with structured sessions and facilitated
discussion until 5pm, with a tea & coffee break in the afternoon.
Workshops are limited to 15 participants, enabling valuable interaction and sharing of experiences.
Following the workshop, PARN will produce a summary of the discussion
for participants. In addition, we will establish a group on PARNPeople,
our networking site for the professional body sector, to enable
participants to:
• Continue to debate the topics
• Share documents and links to resources |
