Monday afternoon: Collaborative workshop

We’re pleased to welcome Tina Chander back to deliver this follow-up workshop to her previous session in January. The workshop will explore the key changes introduced through the Employment Rights Act 2025, including reforms already in place from April 2026 and those expected across 2026 and 2027. In a practical, fast paced session, you will gain clear insight into what these changes mean for your organisation and the steps you should be taking now to prepare.
