People Strategy Events

For Small and Medium Businesses

Small Group Sessions. Real Strategic Impact.

Through structured workshops, we support SME owners, senior leaders and in-house HR professionals to:

  • Align people decisions with business direction and strategic aims

  • Strengthen leadership capability and management effectiveness

  • Create a workplace where people choose to join and stay

Our workshops are designed for businesses that want to move beyond reactive or ad hoc HR activity and take a more deliberate, commercially aligned strategic people approach to drive business performance and growth.

Delivered in small groups, sessions encourage discussion, shared insight and practical application within the business.

Sessions are facilitated by Jill Bottomley FCIPD, a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD with over 35 years’ experience across senior corporate HR roles and extensive work supporting and advising SMEs.
