Of these sessions Melissa Gallagher (Client Partner & Project Manager at HDA) says ìHDA recognizes that today we are operating in an environment where taking ownership of your own career development is crucial to your success. However with large-scale redundancies and significant organsiational changes occurring, it has become harder than ever before for HR professionals to have the opportunity to focus on their own career development. As such we have developed a series of short summer sessions designed to meet the time constraints and career development needs of the UK HR community.î
