Employment Rights Act April changes

How might the April 2026 changes reshape your people strategy?

From April 2026, the first major implementation phase of the Employment Rights Act 2025 will begin to take effect. While these reforms are rooted in individual employment rights, their impact will be felt most acutely by organisations, managers and leaders.

The changes will influence how businesses plan, operate, communicate and manage risk. This is not just about updating policies or processes, it is an organisational and leadership challenge that will shape how you hire, manage employee relations, support your people and respond under pressure.

This webinar looks at the April 2026 reforms through multiple lenses, going beyond updating your policies and processes to explore wider operational, cultural and commercial impact. It is designed to help leaders step back, understand how the changes connect, and consider where they may need to think differently as an organisation.

In this 45-minute session, we’ll look at:

• How the April 2026 changes land together - Why the combined effect matters more than any single reform
• Where organisational assumptions start to shift - Including hiring, workforce availability, absence, cost and change management
• Why some risks will surface earlier - And where organisations may be exposed without realising it
• What joined-up preparation looks like - How people, reward, employee relations, talent acquisition and leadership behaviours need to align
