"My business has benefited by sponsoring my TalkPoint Membership.  I have been able to access information, resources and ideas that are often immediately and practically useable in my business. For example, because of TalkPoint I have been introduced to a number of leading experts who I have followed up with and used to support our HR strategy in areas from Executive coaching to employee communications, to name a couple."

"TalkPoint differs from other options by being in a category of its own. It's not like joining a professional body and going to the occasional development activity. TalkPoint is fully focussed on your development as an HR leader in Australia, keeping up with a fast moving profession and seeing the trends before they hit."

"I continue to receive great value from my membership. Most of my group have been together for some time now. We know and respect each other greatly. 
Information is shared in confidence. We continue to learn from each other's trials, tribulations and successes. After a 4 year membership, I still find the subject matter experts of the highest quality and am given sufficient opportunity to request material to be covered that is relevant to my business."
