HR Leaders Roundtable | Who’s Looking After HR?

We are delighted to invite you to an exclusive HR Leaders Roundtable Lunch, hosted by Freeths in partnership with Nicola Childs of Rise25, on Wednesday 18th of November 2026, from 1:00pm – 3:00pm at our Sheffield office.

HR professionals play a critical role in supporting leaders through change, guiding employees through challenges and helping organisations navigate increasing complexity. But amidst these growing demands, an important question remains: who is looking after HR?

Join a select group of senior HR professionals for an interactive and confidential discussion exploring the pressures, expectations and support systems surrounding today's HR function.

Discussion topics will include:

• The growing emotional and strategic demands placed on HR leaders

• The often-unseen role HR plays within an organisation

• What a healthy and high-performing HR function looks like in practice

• Burnout, resilience and psychological safety within HR teams

• Managing your own wellbeing and career ambitions whilst supporting others

• Building stronger peer networks and support mechanisms

• The future of HR – more human or more digital?

Why attend?

• Share experiences with fellow senior HR leaders

• Exchange insights and best practices in a trusted environment

• Explore practical approaches to supporting HR wellbeing

• Build valuable connections with peers facing similar challenges

• Contribute to the wider conversation around creating healthy, high-performing HR functions

Places are limited to encourage open discussion and meaningful engagement.

We would be delighted if you could join us and look forward to welcoming you to Freeths Sheffield.
