South West Talent Hub
This is a place for colleagues from across the South West Region of England who have an interest in Talent and have joined our Talent Community of Practice to connect with each other with a one team approach, share ideas, learning and resources, showcase great fully inclusive talent approaches in practice, celebrate our successes and collaborate on projects/workstreams to improve the quality of working life and experience for our people in health and social care and ultimately patient care.
South West Talent Community of Practice
The South West Talent Team facilitates the Talent Community of Practice (COP) for colleagues who lead on or have responsibility for Talent Management initiatives within their organisation.
The COP meets every 3 months, with the aim of creating space for a sharing and learning community. For us, it has an identity defined by a shared domain of interest – Talent. The Network can support your Talent Management thinking and help you to develop an approach that fits your organisation.
