The Employment Rights Act 2025 is reshaping the way employers manage their workforce. While much attention has focused on the changes taking effect in 2026, some of the most significant and complex reforms are expected to arrive in 2027.
Getting to grips with them early will make it easier to plan and prioritise the changes that are likely to have the biggest impact on your organisation.
Join our employment law specialists for a practical webinar where we'll explain what is changing, highlight the areas most likely to create challenges, and help you identify the actions you should start taking now.
Â
Throughout the session we'll cover:
- The reduction in the qualifying period for unfair dismissal and what this means for probationary periods, performance management and dismissal processes
- The new rules on zero-hours and low-hours contracts, including guaranteed hours, notice requirements and compensation for cancelled, moved and curtailed shifts
- Changes to fire and rehire and the restrictions you’ll need to navigate when making contractual changes
- Further reforms to flexible working and how they are expected to operate in practice
- Changes to collective redundancy consultation and what they could mean for restructuring exercises and workforce planning.
Who is this webinar for?
This webinar is designed for HR professionals, in-house lawyers, senior leaders and anyone responsible for managing people, employment compliance or organisational risk.
