The Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) UK Branch will host its 2nd Annual Conference on Sept. 12 and Sept. 13 in Bradford, United Kingdom.

It has the theme “Preparing for Future Disruptions: Building Resilience Against Economic, Technological, and Societal Disruptions Impacting the Workforce.”

The conference will convene global HR leaders, executives, academics, and policymakers to examine how organisations can anticipate disruption, foster resilience, and build future-ready workplaces.

Confirmed speakers include Dr Alim Abubakre, Senior Lecturer at Sheffield Business School, Founder of TEXEM, UK and Board Member, Business Council for Africa; Emily Akanimoh, Group HR Manager, Four Marketing Group; Success Osideko, Board Member, Endoratech; among others.

According to CIPM UK, the conference offers a timely response to growing uncertainty caused by economic volatility, rapid technological advancement, and shifting societal expectations.

“In today’s unpredictable world, preparing for disruption is no longer optional—it is essential. This conference provides HR professionals and leaders with practical insights, shared experiences, and tools to place people at the heart of resilient strategies,” the Institute said in a statement.

The conference will feature plenaries on bridging the skills gap through apprenticeships, internships, and mentoring; embedding digital literacy and lifelong learning; and attracting, retaining, and supporting Gen Z and Gen Alpha talent.

Speaking ahead of the event, Abubakre said: “The future of work demands courage, creativity, and compassion. By investing in talent pipelines through apprenticeships, internships, and mentoring, employers can not only safeguard their organisations but also empower the next generation to thrive in a volatile world.

”This confab is more than an event—it is a call to action to build workplaces that are resilient, inclusive, and prepared for tomorrow’s challenges.”

The two-day event will also feature a Gala and Awards Night to celebrate excellence and leadership in HR across categories such as Mentorship, Professional Excellence, Community Service, and Lifetime Achievement.

Organisers say the conference will serve as a catalyst for transformation, equipping participants with strategies to build adaptive, purpose-driven, and future-proof organisations.

The CIPM UK Branch is a community for Nigerian CIPM members located in the UK, offering networking, knowledge-sharing, and professional support, and was officially inaugurated on Nov. 16, 2022.(NAN)
