The new Government has pledged a raft of changes that employers need to be aware of in order to be able to effectively contribute to the consultation with the Government and also to plan the impact on their organisations. Watch Monica Atwal and Lucy White for a quick round-up of all the HR related changes that have already taken effect in 2024 and a summary of the significant changes that are still expected.

Topics include:

  • Labour’s proposed changes including:
    • Trade union rights
    • Day one rights
    • Worker status
    • Zero hour contracts
  • Flexible working requests
  • Carers leave
  • Paternity leave
