Making the right hiring decisions now matters more than ever. With recent changes to the Employment Rights Act and the introduction of the 6-month unfair dismissal protection rule, the impact will be felt sooner than many businesses realise – leaving far less room for error in recruitment, onboarding and early‑stage performance management.
Our HR Director, Wendy Read, and Senior Talent Acquisition Manager, James Houston, break down what’s changing, what it really means for employers, and, most importantly, what you should be doing now to protect your business and improve hiring decisions.
This webinar is ideal for SME owners and HR leaders who want to stay compliant, reduce risk, and plan ahead with confidence.
