Wise Wednesdays

Legal clarity for people professionals, every Wednesday lunchtime


Expert insight. Practical action. Smarter HR.

 

Returning for its third year, Wise Wednesdays is one of UHR’s most popular event series, bringing together our incredibly generous legal partners and friends to share their expertise and provide valuable insight into the fast-moving world of HE HR and employment law.

Going beyond a traditional legal update, these sessions give you the inside track on the key issues, emerging developments and challenges facing HR teams across the sector. Hear directly from legal experts who work alongside higher education colleagues every day, explore what changes mean in practice, and gain perspectives on the issues that matter most to your institution.

You’ll also come away with practical tools, approaches and ideas to help you navigate new legislation, respond confidently to emerging issues and turn legal insight into practical action.

And did we mention... they’re completely free to attend! Taking place over lunchtime, they’re designed to fit easily into your working day - so grab a cuppa, sandwich, sushi or soup and join us for an hour of expert insight, practical learning and conversation.

 

We’d love you to join us – book your place below and save the date in your diary.
