Breakfast and Networking
Welcome and Presentation
Employee investigations are causing harm. They can harm an employee professionally, reputationally and financially. They can cause emotional, social and family harm. And the stress can lead to mental illness. Most of us will go through our working lives – thankfully – without any reference to an organisation’s disciplinary policy. Even though we probably all know of someone who has been investigated, we probably won’t have opened the HR policy document governing discipline. Because there won’t have been any need. However, for those who do, the impact can be devastating. And yet, if you look at the content of the leading HR magazines and conferences or at the subjects high on the agenda of HR directors, the harm associated with disciplinary policy is rarely featured.

Panel Discussion
Join us for a dynamic panel discussion exploring fresh, people‑focused approaches to conflict resolution and culture change across the public sector. Hear from Tracey Adekoya, an experienced HR leader and accredited mediator driving major culture‑change work within the University, and Deborah Cox, Deputy Chief People Officer at Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust, known for her leadership in organisational development and workforce transformation. A third panel member will be announced soon, adding even more depth to this insightful conversation. Expect practical takeaways, real‑world examples, and an honest look at what it takes to build healthier, more collaborative workplaces.
