Employment Rights Act Webinar - June 22nd 2026

What we’ll cover:  The Employment Rights Bill is no longer a future problem for employers. It’s a here and now problem. Many are now finding out where their processes, managers and documentation aren’t quite as ready or robust as they first thought.  This session is designed to cut though the noise and focus on what should already be sorted, where members may still be exposed, and what practical steps still need to happen next.
