People priorities 2025: Business-driven HR and a manager empowerment conundrum

1. Leader and manager development: Gartner research shows 3 out of 4 HR leaders think managers are overwhelmed, and there is a capability gap which creates a conundrum. This session explores how to bridge these gaps, boost engagement and maximise transformation ROI. Empowering line managers to self-serve more people matters is vital and requires investment in both technology, training, and policy and process improvements. Hear real-world examples of the benefits the right manager empowerment can deliver, such as reducing employment tribunals, improving sickness absence costs and driving productivity and employee engagement in a risk-managed and compliant way.
2. Business-driven HR: By empowering HR teams to focus on strategic priorities and make data-driven decisions, organisations can unlock their full potential and drive greater impact. This is especially critical as research shows that over 60% of UK HR teams lack data visibility and are consumed by day-to-day people management tasks.

The session will be hosted by Simon Fowler, CEO of Empowering People Group. He will be joined by Martin Cornforth, Director of Litigation at Halborns, and Sam Wengenroth, Senior Coach and Head of Programme Development at Working Transitions. Together, our group experts will delve into actionable strategies to tackle these challenges.
