Join us at our exclusive in-person client event in Birmingham to understand what they mean for your organisation and the practical steps you should be taking now.

October marks the next major milestone in the rollout of the Employment Rights Act 2025.

Eleven important employment law reforms are expected to take effect in October, introducing new employer duties and expanding employee rights across areas including workplace harassment, trade union rights, employment tribunals and public sector outsourcing.

With multiple reforms taking effect over a short period, employers who fail to prepare could increase their exposure to legal and commercial risk. Now is the time to review your policies, procedures and people management practices to ensure your organisation is ready.

Join WorkNest's Employment Law and HR experts for this exclusive client event as they explain what the reforms mean for employers, the impact they could have on your organisations and the practical steps you should be taking now to prepare with confidence.
