Contractor Drinks
The Contracting team wanted to thank our contractors for their support throughout the year, so we hosted drinks and nibbles at Hotel CBD. As usual it was raining, but that didn't deter everyone who turned up!
It was a great night of drinks, food, laughter and a couple of great speeches! We are thankful to all who turned up and hope to catch up with everyone again at our next contracting event.

OD Boardroom lunch
We were delighted to have Ian Corner, Head of Organisational Development at Mission Australia, as our guest speaker at our boardroom lunch.
Ian has over 20 years L&OD experience, and over a delicious lunch he shared his experiences on how OD in the not-for-profit sector differs and is similar to OD within Corporate businesses. There was an open discussion with everyone who attended about this topic and the challenges in implementing OD solutions.

The Next Step Master Class - "Diversity - The current state of play"
Diversity has been one of the hot topics throughout 2011, especially for listed businesses following guidelines from the ASX regarding the number of women in senior management roles and at board level. However, we all know that diversity is much broader than simply gender, so we asked a panel of experts, including Neil Cockroft, Leia Alexander and Melissa Williams, to give their views on the current state of play.
This event was hosted over a light breakfast and coffee. _______________________________________________________________________
 The Next Gen - Speed Dating with the Specialists July 2011
The decision to specialise in HR or continue as a generalist practitioner was discussed at a recent panel discussion coordinated by The Next Gen, (the early and intermediate career specialist group at The Next Step).
Responding to questions about career planning and the merits of specialising are daily occurrences for The Next Gen team. To shed some light on this, The Next Gen facilitated a discussion with a panel of three senior practitioners from the areas of ER/IR, L&D/OD and Remuneration & Benefits.
Fiona McCulloch, ER Manager at Mission Australia, Nicola Blum, Head of Learning & Development at Allens Arthur Robinson and Sabiha Vorajee, Compensation & Benefits Manager at Lend Lease shared their views with 70 high calibre early and intermediate HR professionals.
