RenTalks recordings now available
Catch up on RenTalks you've missed via iLearn.
RenTalks are a brilliant way to link with colleagues across the council and learn more about our teams, projects and initiatives. If you take part in a live session it's an opportunity to network and get the answers to any burning questions you might have.
But we know not everyone can join the Teams calls and lots of you have told us that you'd like to see recordings made available to watch back later.
We've listened to your feedback and are delighted to let you know that, from now on, all our recorded sessions will be made available to watch on iLearn soon after the live event.
Watch 'Understanding Procurement' with Jenny Bowles and Laura Gillan
Over 260 colleagues recently joined Jenny and Laura from our Corporate Procurement Team on Microsoft Teams for their RenTalk on Understanding procurement at Renfrewshire Council.
In their presentation, Jenny and Laura walked through all the things colleagues may need to know about buying goods, works and services for the council, helping you to understand what procurement is and how it works.
The feedback they received was excellent, with 100% of survey respondents saying they found the session helpful and easy to understand. Here's just a few of the comments they received:

Join our next live session on 'Supporting Menopause' with Time for Talking, Thursday 06 March at 3.30pm.
Menopause is a natural life transition, but it doesn't always come with a clear roadmap. This RenTalks session is designed to empower you with knowledge and tools to navigate this phase with confidence and ease.
In this informative session, we'll explore the physical, emotional, and mental changes that come with menopause, offering practical advice on managing symptoms, staying healthy, and embracing the changes. Whether you're approaching menopause, currently experiencing it, or supporting someone through it, this RenTalks is for all.
More RenTalks coming soon
Looking ahead, there's plenty to come throughout 2025, including more sessions about our council services and supporting your health and wellbeing.
These engaging and informative sessions take place on Microsoft Teams and all colleagues are invited to join via email. If you don't have a work email account, you can sign up to join any live session using another email address by contacting our Internal Communications team. Email internalcommunications@renfrewshire.gov.uk.
Alternatively, if you are unable to make a live session, you can now look forward to catching up on iLearn, which is available 24/7 on any device.
