The CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition (ACE) is fast approaching! I’ve been to the CIPD Festival of Work in London (great experience) but it’ll be my first time at ACE!
Earlier today, I spoke with one of the brilliant experts who’ll be on stage next week. Woosh Raza is Principal Consultant at Woosh Ltd.
Woosh and I talked about the panel he’ll be on – called ‘Sustaining momentum in career development to enhance workforce productivity’ along with JC Townend, Country President at Adecco UK & IRE, Sophie Holmes, Group Head of Future Skills Development at Sky and Lizzie Crowley, Senior Skills Policy Adviser at CIPD. Woosh and I also talked about some speakers we hope to see including Peter Cheese, Bruce Daisley, Dame Joanna Lumley, Dame Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, and Prof. Michael Wooldridge.
Listen too, as Whoosh shares info on some of the charities he supports including the Charities HR Network.
