It's hard to believe that it's nearly Christmas and another year is fast approaching. I thought I would take this opportunity to share some of the highlights from Hot HR from over the last 12 months.
This has been an exciting year for Hot HR, we have seen fantastic growth and we now have 1,240 members!
The statistics - show that the peak months for people joining the group in 2011 were May with 131 new members, November with 166 and 168 in September.
Our members - are all UK based HR professionals or people that have HR qualifications, a HR background or work in areas directly connected to HR.

In the group 37% of the group are HR Managers; 12% are based in London; 71% work in a HR function and 33% are in the HR industry.
Hot HR Ethos - these statistics really support the ethos behind the group, which is to become one of the UK’s leading HR networking groups by providing HR professionals with the information they require by sharing experiences, communicating directly with others and asking advice from leading specialists. It is important to Hot HR that the group remains a committed group to the HR profession with UK based dedicated HR professional members only. It is essential that the content and quality of the group is not diluted in any way and for this reason we are not numbers driven.
