Managing people and maintaining compliance with HR and Health & Safety responsibilities can be challenging for many businesses, particularly for small and medium-sized organisations where managers often juggle multiple roles.
To support local employers, CXCS will be hosting a free HR and Health & Safety breakfast seminar on Thursday 16 April at Chapter House, Belmont Abbey in Hereford.
The event will bring together CXCS specialists and guest speakers to share practical insights into common workplace challenges and how businesses can manage them effectively.
Practical guidance for employers and managers
This seminar is designed for business owners, directors, managers and anyone responsible for HR or Health & Safety within their organisation.
The focus will be on providing clear, practical advice that businesses can apply in day-to-day situations, rather than simply discussing legislation.
Topics being covered during the morning include:
- Managing difficult conversations for managers and business owners
- Understanding the real cost of absenteeism and why strong policies matter
- Risk assessments and method statements – why they are essential
- Practical HR and Health & Safety insights for employers
Each session will be delivered as a short presentation designed to provide useful takeaways for organisations of all sizes.

Networking and breakfast
The seminar will take place in the historic setting of Chapter House at Belmont Abbey, providing a relaxed environment where attendees can enjoy a full English breakfast while connecting with other local businesses.
