The cHeRries Conference
Thursday 13th June, 2024
P&J Live, Aberdeen
The cHeRries Conference in association with Mattioli Woods was established in 2021, complimenting the already successful cHeRries Awards.
The conference endeavours to support Human Resources professionals and Business Leaders nurture excellence in people and organisational effectiveness.
Human Resources is in perpetual motion — a dynamic relationship of technological advancements, shifting demographics and evolving workplace dynamics.
Delegates at this year’s conference will engage in workshops, panel discussions and networking sessions, where shared insights will ripple far beyond the walls of the conference centre.
Our sessions for the day are as follows:
Tomorrow’s AI Workplace – sponsored by Mattioli Woods
Join us for a unique session on how you can maintain your talent in the workplace using artificial intelligence (AI) and technology. By looking at your current talent management and where you want to grow, we can discuss how new technology and AI can positively impact retention through talent management, identifying succession.
Thrive Don’t Survive – sponsored by Hunter Adams
Whilst we cannot predict the future, one thing we can be sure of is that the world of work is changing. Join us as we look ahead and unpack the trends that could transform the workplace and the way we work, giving an informed perspective on how to thrive, not just survive.
AI: Real Challenges – sponsored by Burness Paull
The potential for AI to revolutionise the workplace is undeniable. The ability to automate repetitive tasks, reduce costs and increase efficiency are all widely recognised as benefits that AI can bring. However, AI can also pose challenges where it is misused, misunderstood or misapplied. Join us for a unique and interactive session which explores some of the employment law challenges that AI may bring and discuss with us how these may be overcome.
Maximise Your Impact – sponsored by Lang&Co
Our workshop will see delegates introduced to Lumina Spark. The workshop will give delegates an opportunity to explore their personality, in particular their over extensions. Over extending can result in negative impact to self and others and increased stress. Together whilst networking we will explore our over extensions as well as other areas of our personality.
