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.
