Press Releases

24 Nov 2015

Lord Ian Blair, former commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, will give a talk entitled ‘Leadership and Trust: The significance of values’ at the launch of the Institute for Employment Studies' Honorary Fellowship, on Wednesday, 25 November. Seventy-two individuals at the forefront of employment issues, including organisational, trade union and HR leaders, thinkers, policy-makers and commentators, have accepted the title of IES Honorary Fellow, a new initiative designed to encourage greater collaboration, and act as a platform for wider debate. The launch event will be held at the London head office of international law firm Eversheds.

The list of Fellows includes those who have made a personal contribution to sustainable improvements in employment policy and HR management, some through thought leadership, and others through being leading-edge workplace practitioners or experts.

IES Honorary Fellows have been invited to support the IES mission to bring about sustainable improvement in employment policy and human resource management. The Institute achieves its mission through increasing the understanding and improving the practice of decision makers.  Fellows will also help to shape the agenda by offering views or advice on research topics and work with employers.

Fellows will also join IES employees and associates as IES ambassadors to the wider world. They will contribute to or occasionally host IES events and conferences, and participate in IES work in a range of different ways.
