Preparing for the Employment Rights Bill
The Employment Rights Bill is the most significant reform of UK employment law in a generation. Announced in 2024, it introduces a wide-ranging package of reforms that reshape how organisations recruit, manage, and support their people. The changes will not take effect all at once but will be phased in between 2025 and 2027, creating multiple points where organisations must be ready to comply.
This course provides HR leaders and senior managers with a clear roadmap to understand the Bill, its key themes, and its long-term impact on the workplace. It explains what the reforms are, when they are expected to take effect, and what they mean for the relationship between employers and employees.
You will gain an overview of the key themes of the reforms, including day-one rights and redundancy consultation, and see how they fit together as a new framework for fair work. The course highlights both the challenges and opportunities presented by the reforms, helping leaders see beyond compliance to the broader cultural and organisational shifts the Bill is designed to create.
