Exclusive client event
Employment law reforms | Your priorities now and for 2027
Know what to review, where to focus and how to prepare your business for the next round of employment law changes.
October’s employment law reforms bring new considerations for workplace harassment, trade union rights and employment tribunal claims. With further changes approaching in January 2027, employers need a clear view of what requires attention now and what to prepare for next.
Join WorkNest for a free, exclusive in-person client event in Manchester to turn the reforms into practical priorities for your organisation. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of which policies and processes to review, how to support your managers and where to focus your time and resources.
WorkNest’s Employment Law and HR specialist, Patrick Carroll-Fogg, will explain the implications of the reforms for everyday people management and help you identify your next steps.
During this free two-hour session, you’ll:
Identify gaps following the October reforms. Understand what the changes to harassment prevention, trade union rights and tribunal time limits mean for your policies and working practices.
Prepare for the January unfair dismissal changes. Understand how the six-month qualifying period affects your approach to probation, performance concerns and dismissal decisions.
Prioritise your policy and process reviews. Establish which contracts, handbook provisions and people management processes need attention, so you can focus resources where they will have the greatest impact.
Help managers make more confident decisions. Recognise where clearer guidance, better records or earlier HR involvement could help prevent issues escalating.
Build your action plan for 2027. Leave with clear priorities to discuss with your leadership team and a more structured approach to preparing for further reforms.
