PSHR leaders network
The PSHR leaders network is a network of approx. 320 HR leaders from across the civil and public service that facilitates the exchange of best practice, knowledge, and experience in HR in the service by providing and gaining advice, knowledge and insights from its Network members. The Network aims to provide a voice for the HR community of the Civil and Public Service on matters of mutual concern as well as creating a network where PSHR leaders can meet and build relationships with their peers across departments. The network meets quarterly, and the meetings usually take the form of several HR relevant presentations followed by a networking session.
