Supporting HR professionals through shared insight
The HR Peer Group brings together a network of over 400 Human Resources professionals from member organisations. It provides a space for members to connect, share experiences and exchange knowledge, insight and practical resources.
Members of this group work across a range of seniority levels, including:
- HR Director
- Head of HR
- HR Manager
- HR Business Partner / People Partner
- HR Advisor
Events
We typically host three to four in-person events each year, held within the Cambridgeshire area and generously hosted by our member organisations.
Event topics are driven by the interests of the group, with feedback gathered annually to help shape the programme. Each session lasts approximately 90 minutes and includes time for networking and a 45-60 minute presentation delivered by a subject matter expert. All sessions are specifically tailored for individuals working within HR teams.

Upcoming Schedule
Our next session is on Thursday 17th September, focused on Current Benefit Trends and Future Changes.
Q&A Mailing
Our fortnightly Q&A mailing gives members the opportunity to ask questions across any area of HR and receive responses from peers within the group. These are collated and shared back to all group members anonymously, creating a valuable resource for insight, guidance and shared experience.
Regular topics include:
- Salary reviews and benchmarking
- Employee benefits and reward packages
- HR policy guidance
- Provider recommendations (e.g. occupational health, HR systems, and more)
Who can join?

"As HR professionals, networking is such an important part of our CPD and the HR Peer group meetings provide the perfect space to discuss a range of HR topics with likeminded professionals. Each session has a clear agenda and follows a set topic, so you can tailor your involvement to your business needs. Joining any networking group can be daunting, but the Cambridge Network team are always friendly and welcoming, and help you to feel like a valued member of their community.
I have found that responses to the Peer Group Q&A’s, from companies across the tech space, have helped to guide my decision making, allowing for up-to-date benchmarking and sharing of ideas and strategies. Having this data to hand gives me the confidence to move forward with many of my business decisions."
