The Employment Rights Bill has received Royal Assent and has now become the Employment Rights Act 2025. While this marks a major milestone, it’s only the beginning. Many of the Act’s provisions will come into effect gradually over the next few years. This significant piece of legislation represents one of the most comprehensive updates to UK employment law in recent decades, designed to modernise workplace practices and strengthen protections for employees across all industries.
Helping you prepare for the changes ahead
Now that the Act has become law, organisations across the UK are considering what it means for them, not just within HR, but across their entire operations. From finance teams and operational leads to senior management and boards, the implications are far-reaching.
We recognise that understanding and implementing these changes can be complex. That’s why we’re here to help. Drawing on the questions and insights gathered through our tailored training sessions, delivered both in person and online, we’re supporting clients to understand how the new rules apply in practice and what steps to take next.
To help your organisation stay ahead, we’ve created the Employment Rights Act 2025 Hub, a dedicated resource offering tools, guidance, and updates as the new provisions come into effect. Whether you’re shaping strategy, managing budgets, or overseeing compliance, our Hub is designed to ensure you’re informed, prepared, and ready to respond to this evolving legal landscape.
Discover how the Employment Rights Act 2025 will roll out between now and 2027, and why it’s vital to prepare for what’s ahead. Find out more.

FOR HAYDN - Think about what we include here. The toolkit might not be best used in it's current state, but needs to be updated to be more promotional and less educational so that we can sell our services. Can I batch together any of the links Kelly has provided to make clearer? Any relevant webinars we can link to.
