Development for HR teams

Help your HR team stay relevant and solve the people challenges that matter now

AI, productivity pressure and tougher growth conditions are changing what the business needs from HR. But many HR teams are still working with practices designed for a different world.

We help HR teams build the confidence, skills and fresh thinking to challenge old habits, influence leaders and make practical progress on the people issues that matter now.

The aim is simple: a more confident, relevant HR team that spends less time maintaining old processes and more time helping the business do better work.

Work with us through a one-off workshop, tailored programme, Club team membership, or a blend of all three.

Does this sound familiar?

We speak to lots of HR leaders who have brilliant people in their teams, but are starting to ask a bigger question: is the way HR has traditionally worked still right for what the business needs now?

They can see that traditional HR approaches are no longer enough, and want practical support, fresh thinking and confidence to work differently.

AI is making this harder to ignore. It is changing how HR operates, and how the business thinks about work, skills and leadership. HR teams need to be ready for both.

You might want your HR team to:

Get clearer on where HR is helping, where it is making things harder and what needs to stop.
Build confidence in what modern, progressive HR looks like now.
Understand what AI means for HR and the skills that will matter next.
Challenge outdated practices and design simpler approaches people will actually use.
Help leaders build the capability to lead well and take more ownership for people decisions.
Try new approaches back at work, so fresh thinking turns into practical progress.

That’s where we can help.

Helping HR teams stay relevant

Our workshops are built around the real issues HR teams are facing now. Most sessions are 90 minutes and delivered online, so they work well for global and dispersed teams. We can also design half-day or full-day face-to-face sessions where that is the better fit.

Designed and delivered by Lucy Adams and Karen Moran, former HR leaders and founders of Disruptive HR, each session brings fresh thinking, practical tools and examples from progressive organisations around the world.

We help your team make sense of what is changing, challenge some tired HR habits, and apply practical ideas to the work they are dealing with right now.

Ways to work with us

Every HR team is different, so we flex around your goals, priorities and budget.

Most workshops are 90-minute online sessions. You can book a one-off session, build a tailored series, or choose Club team membership on its own. We can also design half-day or full-day face-to-face sessions where that is the better fit.

When you book a workshop or series, we normally include Club team membership so your team can keep coming back to fresh thinking, practical tools and examples whenever they need them.

One-off workshop

Bespoke series

Club team membership

Why Club team membership makes the difference

A workshop can create energy, challenge and fresh thinking.

But the real value comes when your team starts using the ideas back at work, in real conversations, decisions and people practices.

That’s where the Disruptive HR Club helps.

Everything in the Club is created by Disruptive HR, based on the real issues HR teams are dealing with and what we see working in progressive organisations.

Your team gets short videos, practical tools, live sessions, guided learning and AI-powered support they can come back to whenever they need a fresh idea, useful example or practical next step.

Use it alongside a workshop or programme, or on its own as flexible development for your HR team.
