Employment Rights Act 2025
The Employment Rights Act is raising big questions for employers, HR teams, and compliance professionals.
To help, we’ve put together a podcast that answers key questions about the Act, including what it means for; family rights, probation periods, annualised hours contracts, unfair dismissal, and how employers should respond when staff raise concerns.
In the Podcast, we answer questions on:
- 1. Day One Rights
- 2. Annualised hours/contracts
- 3. Probation period
- 4. Protection for employees
- 5. Sick Pay, Overtime, Practical changes
- 6. Third Party Harassment
- 7. Redundancy, Contracts, Status,
- 8. Equality, Reasonable Adjustment
- 9. Enforcement
When listening to this Podcast we hope that you find that it is a useful way to get clarity on some of the biggest areas of uncertainty.

Training
The landscape of employment law is continually evolving, and this April marked a significant shift that organisations cannot afford to overlook. With new legal expectations now in force, we have seen a sharp rise in requests from leaders, managers, and HR professionals seeking clarity, guidance, and practical support.
In response, we have developed this podcast to provide you with a clear, accessible overview of what has changed, what it means in practice, and how you can confidently move forward. Our aim is simple: to equip you with the knowledge you need to remain compliant, create safer and more inclusive workplaces, and lead with confidence in a changing environment.
However, understanding the law is only the starting point. Embedding it into everyday practice requires meaningful training, reflection, and action. That is why we are also offering tailored training and development sessions designed to bring these changes to life within your organisation.
To support you in taking the next step, we are offering our half-day training at a reduced rate of £495 (usually £595) for all bookings taken before the end of May 2026.
We encourage you to use this podcast as your foundation—and to take advantage of this opportunity to deepen your organisation’s understanding, strengthen your culture, and demonstrate your commitment to doing things properly.
Now is the time to act, not only to meet legal requirements, but to build workplaces where everyone feels respected, protected, and able to thrive.
We look forward to supporting you on that journey.
