HR and Leaders’ Roundtables: A Safe Space for Connection and Innovation
Elias Recruitment is celebrating its 25th anniversary by giving back to the industry in a meaningful and practical way. To mark this milestone, the pioneering recruitment business is launching a series of ongoing Roundtable sessions designed for HR Professionals, In House Legal and Senior Legal Managers like General Managers, Practice Managers, COO’s and CEO’s.
This innovative initiative is designed to bring industry professionals together, ignite meaningful conversations, and foster collaborative solutions to issues and challenges facing the profession. The meetings serve as a dynamic platform for growth, connection, and innovation, empowering participants to navigate the complexities of their roles with fresh perspectives and shared expertise.
“We find that many HR practitioners and legal leaders often feel isolated in their roles,” says Jason Elias, CEO of Elias Recruitment.
“They crave a space where they can share challenges, successes, and strategies without fear of judgment. The roundtables are our way of creating that safe, supportive environment.”
These invite-only sessions cater to three distinct groups—HR professionals, in-house legal practitioners, and legal leaders—each with a tailored focus. HR professionals will engage in peer support discussions on AI’s impact on recruitment, talent retention strategies, and workplace challenges. In-house legal practitioners will explore operational efficiencies, optimising outside counsel, CPD, AI, and legal operations. Meanwhile, legal leaders will tackle high-level concerns, including AI’s influence, workplace transformations, data protection, and balancing flexibility with productivity. Each roundtable brings together professionals from similar-sized organisations, ensuring discussions remain relevant, relatable, and confidential under Chatham House rules.
“What makes the roundtables truly unique is their structure”, explains Jason.
“Sessions are capped at eight participants to foster an intimate and collaborative atmosphere. They will be held quarterly, in-person at neutral venues in Sydney in a format that ensures everyone has a voice.”
“It’s about more than just the sessions themselves. We’re building a peer network that extends beyond the boardroom. Participants can reach out to each other for advice, share experiences, and continue the conversation long after the meeting ends.”
As part of Elias’s commitment to supporting its clients, the roundtables will be offered as a free service, complete with refreshments and a welcoming atmosphere.
“It’s a thank-you to the industry for 25 years of support, but also as an opportunity to help connect the future legal HR and managers to each other.”
