The UK’s employment landscape is undergoing its most significant transformation in decades. Following the passage of the Employment Rights Act 2025, businesses must now navigate a complex, phased rollout of new regulations – ranging from Day One rights to the establishment of the Fair Work Agency.
Join us for a practical, operator-focused deep dive into what these changes mean for your business. This session moves beyond theory to focus on the “direction of travel” – shifting from reactive compliance to proactive risk management. Whether you are managing a single site or a multi-unit enterprise, this webinar will provide the legal clarity and technical insight needed to stay ahead of the 2026 and 2027 deadlines.
Key Learning Objectives

- Operational Impact: Evaluate how the shift to a six-month qualifying period for unfair dismissal and uncapped compensation will change your recruitment and probation processes
- Risk Mitigation: Learn what “all reasonable steps” actually means in practice for preventing third-party harassment and how to manage the new liability for customer conduct
