CRF was established in 1994 by a group of senior HR professionals who wanted to move beyond the fads and fashions often presented as the ‘leading edge' of HR.
CRF provides an independent forum for sharing practical, achievable and relevant HR strategies, policy and practices.
Membership comprises over 100 organisations - from global corporations to medium-sized businesses across both private and public sectors.
CRF works with an international network of organisations, academics, HR practitioners and business leaders to share insights through high quality events, research and publications.
Each year, our programme of applied research reflects critical issues facing members who have access to research findings through events and publications.
- Meetings, workshops, masterclasses and an annual conference provide opportunities for debate and to share member knowledge and insights.
- Research reports and other publications provide reviews of relevant topics and identify good practice.
- Working groups focus on specific areas such as L&D, which enable topics to be explored in depth.
- Facilitated networking connects members to other practitioners and experts to address their queries.
