The Employment Rights Act: Compliance, Culture and the Leadership Challenge

The Employment Rights Act 2025 represents the most significant overhaul of UK employment law in years. While awareness of the changes is high, many organisations are still grappling with what they will mean in practice, not only from a compliance perspective, but for leadership, management capability and workplace culture. For many HR leaders, the challenge is no longer understanding the legislation itself. It is helping managers navigate new expectations, ensuring HR is seen as an enabler rather than a blocker, and embedding changes in a way that strengthens rather than disrupts organisational culture.

Please join us for this peer discussion facilitated by Janette Lucas, Partner and Head of the London Labour & Employment Team at Squire Patton Boggs, where we’ll explore the practical implications of the Act and the opportunities and challenges it presents for organisations. Together, we’ll discuss which changes are already creating friction for managers, how organisations are preparing leaders for new responsibilities, whether the new rights will ultimately harden or humanise workplace culture, and how HR teams can balance compliance with positive employee experience.

This is an event for senior in-house / corporate practitioners from organisations with 250+ employees. Unfortunately we are unable to allocate spaces to solution providers or consultants. All registrations are verified and the team will be in contact within 48 hours to confirm we have allocated you a place.
