Welcome to the FiSSInG website.

FiSSInG, the HR Network with a Focus on Strategy, is a Club whose members exchange and discuss forward looking ideas on good practice.

FiSSInG facilitates strategic thinking through best practice case studies, networking, regular meetings, research, workshops, benchmarking, surveys, newsletters, membership directories and occasional seminars and conferences. As well as the usual membership benefits which include access to a range of over 30 best practice and research reports, we have special Clubs for and Personnel Benchmarking and International HR.

Personal membership is welcome as well as corporate membership. Currently most members work in banking, building societies, insurance and intermediaries. Interest is growing among Accountancy firms and other organisations related to the sector.

How we run FiSSInG

We are set up to be friendly, supportive and to operate with minimal formalities. We are a network of individuals and hence able to maintain a simple structure.

What we gain from FiSSInG

We get practical ideas which add value every time we use FiSSInG

We exchange information on policies and practices, for mutual benefit.

We are enabled to network throughout the industry

We can benchmark our quality, customer service and develop HR metrics

We also draw inspiration from participation in FiSSInG to help us to face the common challenges with a reassurance that might be missing if we work in isolation.

Please look at the additional pages of the website for details of meetings, publications and other activities.

Notes:

The mission of the networks is to promote good HR performance, research, policy and practice widely rather than to maximise income. As such the membership fees are shaped to barely cover the low administrative running costs. The HR Society Council is able to consider applications for Personal Membership at the discretionary annual subscription of £35.25 (incl. vat) for a limited number of people with a keen interest in its work who would otherwise be unable to sustain membership. (This is subsidised from a small reserve built up from event income.)

The HR Benchmarking Club joining fee is waived for organisations that sign up for three years.

* Members who are unable to access .pdf files via email can purchase the papers in hard copy at cost of printing plus P & P.
