We'd be delighted if you could join us for our upcoming Employment Law seminar: Your HR strategy now the Employment Rights Act is live (please hyperlink this to the website page)

With major phases of the Employment Rights Act 2025 now in force (April 2026), HR teams and business owners are already navigating significant legal and operational change — with further reforms due in October 2026.

This focused session will help you understand what’s live, and prepare for what’s next, to reduce compliance risk and unnecessary issues later in the year.

What you’ll gain from attending:

  • A clear, practical overview of the April 2026 changes already affecting employers, including:

    • Day one rights to paternity leave, parental leave and statutory sick pay
    • Enhanced whistleblowing protections and updated union rights
    • Increased family-related pay rates and higher collective consultation penalties

  • A practical checklist and roadmap to help future proof policies, contracts and training

    • Which reforms are most likely to impact employers
    • Where organisations are already getting caught out
    • What employers should be doing now and what can wait

  • Compliance Roadmap

    • Key training and communication gaps to address
    • Areas creating the greatest pressure and tribunal risk

  • This is an essential update for HR leaders, people managers and business owners who want:

    • Clarity
    • Confidence
    • A clear plan for the rest of 2026

Register now to stay compliant and ahead of the curve.
