Employment Law Update | What’s Changed, What’s Coming, What to Do
There’s a lot of noise around employment law right now. Headlines, speculation and plenty of worst-case scenarios. This session is different
Our Employment Law Update is designed to give you clear, practical insight into what’s already changed, what’s coming next, and what you genuinely need to prepare for, without the panic.
Delivered by Shrewd HR’s in-house employment law experts, this session focuses on real-life examples, practical impact and straightforward guidance you can actually use in your business.
You’ll leave this session with:
• A clear understanding of key employment law changes
• Practical insight into legislation taking effect in April 2026
• Early visibility of future changes the Government have announced but delayed
• Real examples that show how these changes affect day-to-day people management
• The chance to ask questions in a relaxed, supportive environment
Session breakdown
The session will be split into three clear parts:
Looking back – 2025
A recap of the changes that came into force last year and what they mean in practice.
What’s coming next – April 2026
An overview of confirmed changes you need to be aware of.
Looking ahead
A forward look at changes the Government have announced but pushed further down the line.
