Join us for a concise and practical update on the Employment Rights Bill and what it means for your organisation.
This session is designed with in-house legal teams and General Counsel in mind, cutting through the noise to focus on the key developments that matter most to your business.
We'll explore
- What’s changing first – and why it matters
The Bill’s first wave includes immediate repeals (e.g. the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023), simplification of industrial action rules, and new protections for trade union activity. These early reforms signal a shift in tone and approach that GCs should be ready to interpret for boards and leadership. - Consultations shaping the next steps
Summer/Autumn 2025 will see consultations on “Day 1” unfair dismissal rights, the Fair Pay Agreement for adult social care, and the return of the School Staff Negotiating Body. GCs will want to engage early to influence outcomes and prepare for operational impact. - Readiness and risk – what GCs should prioritise now
With phased implementation and a government promise of “proper business readiness periods,” now is the time to audit internal policies, identify risk exposure, and plan for staggered compliance across 2026 and 2027.
Whether you're advising the board, managing internal stakeholders, or shaping your organisation’s employment strategy, this session will equip you with the insights you need to stay ahead.
