HR Forum - HR at a crossroads: Why 2026 demands braver decisions

Join us for the HR Forum - HR at a Crossroads: Why 2026 demands braver decisions.

Freeths, in partnership with Parke Lane People, invites senior HR professionals to a timely morning forum addressing the critical decisions awaiting HR in 2026. This event will provide a strategic space to explore and tackle today’s most urgent challenges:

• Employment Law update — Nicola Wallbank, Employment Partner at Freeths Oxford, on legal duties for mental health and wellbeing, identifying risk factors and business impact, covering reasonable adjustments, non-compliance and practical steps to comply
• Wellbeing & mental health in the workplace — Camilla Rogers of fifty50 Coaching, exploring sustainable approaches to culture, structure, and employee support as burnout, absence, workload pressures and cultural fragmentation place increasing strain on organisations
• AI & the human workforce — Marnie Wills, AI Trainer & Consultant, legal, ethical and cultural consequences on responsible integration of AI in job design, fairness, recruitment, and performance

The PLP HR Forum exists for HR leaders who want to think bigger, challenge assumptions, learn from peers and return to their organisation better equipped for the year ahead. This session is designed for those seeking clarity and confidence amidst rising AI adoption, legislative shifts, wellbeing concerns, and cultural fatigue. Refreshments will be provided.

Spaces are limited so please RSVP to secure your place.
