HR Leadership Event: Navigating Employee Relations in 2025

Breakfast, Networking & Presentation (presentation starts at 9.00am)

This event is designed to support and connect the region’s HR leadership community as we tackle some of the most pressing challenges in employer relations in 2025.

In today’s rapidly evolving workplace, navigating the complexities of employee relations can be challenging. From remote work dynamics to reputational risk in the age of social media, today’s HR professionals are required to balance legal obligations, business priorities and employee expectations – all at once!

Emma Saunders & Oliver McCann, will be sharing their considerable knowledge, insights and expertise with our guests.

We’ll be exploring three key areas shaping the employee relations landscape through a combination of round table discussion and presentations:

Managing employee relations in a hybrid world (round-table discussion)

Navigating difficult exits and settlements

This event is more than a knowledge sharing session, it’s a chance to connect and learn. Don’t miss this opportunity to network with fellow HR leaders and walk away with practical insights that will help shape your employee relations strategy moving forward.
