We invite you to join an exclusive webinar exploring the practical implications of the Employment Rights Act 2025 and what smaller businesses are actually beginning to learn as expectations around recruitment, absence, performance management and workplace conduct continue to evolve.

Much of the discussion surrounding the legislation has focused on legal change. The more practical questions for many organisations are now starting to emerge. Where are businesses encountering pressure? Which changes are proving more difficult operationally? What practices that once felt manageable now require greater structure?

Discussion points will include:

• Six-month unfair dismissal rights and what this means for recruitment, onboarding and probation
• Statutory Sick Pay from day one and the practical implications for absence management and cost
• Increased obligations relating to workplace harassment, whistleblowing and manager accountability
• Changes to parental leave, flexible working and employment tribunal timelines
• Practical steps organisations should be taking now to prepare

This session will be particularly relevant for senior leaders and business owners seeking a practical understanding of how these changes may affect workforce planning, people management, operational risk and organisational readiness.
