New Leeds HR hub to be opened

HRXchange, a networking and training forum focussed on employment law and related HR issues, has announced the addition of Leeds to its ten UK “knowledge hubs.”

According to the statement: “HR can be a lonely business and sometimes it is hard to find like-minded professionals to bounce ideas off.

“Aimed at HR professionals and those with a people management role within the Leeds business community, these events are delivered by specialist employment lawyers and HR consultants and offer delegates an interactive forum to discuss practical, real business issues with trainers and peers.”

Developed by top 50 law firm, Gateley, and Penna, a global HR services group, HRXchange events have been running since 2006.

The first Leeds event is on Thursday 13 March with an Employment Law Update, exploring current Government proposals in the employment field together with developments in employment case law and how they will impact upon organisations.

A further three events will then be hosted there in June, September and November to discuss other key topics.

2014 will see HRXchange host 47 separate events across 11 locations. There will also be three mock tribunals taking place in Manchester, Birmingham and London.

Victoria Garrad, Chair of HRXchange and Employment partner at Gateley, commented: “Now in its ninth year, HRXchange has given advice and guidance to a range of businesses large and small about topical HR issues.

“Our experts provide insights that, whilst being grounded in legal theory, are presented in an engaging way and can be applied to practical situations within the workplace.

“Membership is free and open to anybody working within HR. The events are a must for all HR professionals wanting to stay up-to-date with industry issues.”
