54 local HR professionals joined Rowlands Recruitment to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its Recruitment Forum at a special event on Thursday 2nd February 2017.
Rowlands set up the Recruitment Forum towards the end of 2006 to provide a channel for HR professionals to network and gain knowledge on the employment market, as well as the latest trends and legislation. Recruitment Forum events follow a round table discussion format, inviting small groups from its 90 members to attend keynotes and Q&A sessions on topics relevant to the current recruitment landscape, led by local and national industry specialists.
To celebrate the ten-year milestone, Rowlands invited a panel of several key speakers covering a variety of issues relevant to recruitment in 2017 including the ever-increasing importance of digital technology in the workplace, how population policy and migration will affect the future of recruitment, the latest developments in employment law, and the new data protection regulation that will impact Jersey.
Jeralie Pallot, Managing Director of Rowlands Recruitment, commented:
“We were delighted to be able to celebrate ten-years of the Recruitment Forum with our members. It has been a remarkable to witness the dramatic changes happening across our industries over the past ten-years and it’s been our pleasure to discuss these trends and keep clients informed in such a personal format. We were particularly pleased to have such high calibre speakers, and the topics this panel chose to present on has only made it more evident that we must stay up-to-date with the latest knowledge to stay ahead of the curve. The trends discussed at this event will continue to play a huge part in our future, along with further, unforeseen changes and innovations over the next ten-years. It is our job to ensure Jersey’s HR professionals are aware of anything that is going to affect the way they work. The last ten-years has been quite a journey for the Recruitment Forum and the Rowlands team is looking ahead to supporting local businesses throughout the forthcoming decade.”
