HE’s new communications issues – employee experiences and campus confrontations, takes place on Tuesday 19 November at a venue in Bloomsbury in central London between 10.15 am and 3.30 pm. This is UCEA’s annual communications conference, bringing together HR and communications specialists to consider shared communications challenges within the sector.
This year’s in-person conference takes place during ongoing intense industrial relations, wider protest, and unprecedented changes and challenges. Alongside this are the sector’s positive progressions, including advances in important matters to all on campus and beyond, from sustainability to the employee experience.
The blend of presentations and case studies will reflect on recent industrial relations, political protest and employee experience challenges. The speakers will share their experiences and any lessons learnt.
The conference will be chaired by Professor Stuart Palmer, Chair of Council, Brunel University London, Deputy Chair of the UCEA Board and Chair of UCEA’s Communications Strategy Working Group.
Confirmed presentations include:
