Why This Course / Why This Training Is Necessary

Employment law does not wait for your HR handbook to catch up. With the Employment Rights Act 2025 being introduced through a staged implementation programme, employers need to understand how legislative developments may affect their existing workplace arrangements.

For an organisation, understanding a legal change is only part of the process. Employers may also need to consider whether employment contracts remain appropriate, whether workplace policies reflect current requirements, whether managers understand their responsibilities and whether HR systems and procedures can support changes.

The course focuses on this practical transition from legislative change to workplace action. Learners explore how to assess existing practices, identify areas requiring attention and approach updates in a structured way.

The programme also considers changes taking effect during 2026 and developments scheduled for later stages of implementation. This helps learners distinguish between requirements that may already apply and changes that organisations may need to prepare for.

A key focus is the practical review process:

Review → Identify → Update → Implement → Communicate → Assess

This approach can help employers treat employment-law updates as an organised workplace process rather than a last-minute response.

The course also uses case studies and practical situations to help learners consider how employment-law changes can affect contracts, policies, procedures, employer responsibilities and communication with employees.
