The Employment Rights Act 2025 is bringing significant changes for employers with further measures taking effect from October 2026 and more reforms to follow.

We're offering an interactive training workshop designed to help your senior leaders, managers and HR team understand what the upcoming employment law changes mean in practice and what your organisation should be doing to prepare.

Rather than simply talking through the legislation, we'll focus on the practical implications for your organisation, including:

· unfair dismissal changes and what they could mean for recruitment, probation and performance management

· stronger harassment prevention duties, including responsibilities around third-party harassment

· extended Employment Tribunal time limits and the potential impact on disputes, investigations and grievances

· trade union reforms and what they could mean for employee relations and engagement

· the policies, processes and management practices you should be reviewing now

· how managers can prepare for and respond confidently to the changes ahead

The half-day workshop can be delivered in person or virtually and tailored to your sector, organisation and particular challenges. There will also be plenty of opportunity for your team to raise questions and discuss the workplace scenarios that matter to you.

We were delighted to receive this testimonial from Surrey Nano Systems after a successful funding round.

“The Haddletons Corporate Team were outstanding on a fast-moving transaction. They were a pleasure to work with - highly professional, incredibly responsive, and unfailingly detail-focused. Their calm, hands-on approach made a complex and time-pressured process feel straightforward. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for first-class corporate legal advice.”

Thank you to the SNS team; it was a pleasure working with you!

Is your culture ready for the next scramble for talent?

During recruitment freezes competing for talent doesn’t go away, it’s just less visible.

Strong businesses use quieter periods to strengthen leadership, culture and retention so that when growth returns and the scramble for talent restarts, their culture and employee value proposition is ready to compete?

A significant change to Employment Tribunal rules takes effect today, with the time limit for bringing most claims increasing from three months to six months.

Introduced under the Employment Rights Act 2025, the change applies to a wide range of claims and means employers could potentially be notified of proceedings considerably longer after the event in question.

Find out more about what this change means for employers in our new online article: https://www.haddletons.com/insights/employment-tribunal-time-limits-double-what-employers-need-to-know

Our employment team can help employers understand these changes and review their policies and procedures in preparation for the new employment law landscape.

James Haddleton is at BioCap 2026 today, joining the Board Dynamics panel to explore what makes boards work effectively as life sciences businesses grow, secure investment and move towards commercialisation.

A strong board shouldn’t simply report on what has already happened. It should challenge thinking, bring different perspectives to the table and, importantly, turn discussion into action – with clear responsibility for what happens next.

James is looking forward to sharing his perspective alongside his fellow panellists and hearing their experiences of building proactive, effective boards.

If you’re at BioCap today, come along to the session and say hello.

Most employers would like to think workplace harassment could never happen in their organisation.
The reality? Harassment is not always obvious.

Often, it can develop gradually. What starts as “banter” can become normalised, leaving managers unsure where the line is and employees reluctant to speak up.

That’s why preventing harassment can't be limited to a policy tucked away in a handbook. It needs to be part of everyday people management.

The legal landscape is placing increasing emphasis on prevention rather than reaction, and importantly, the focus is no longer limited to interactions between employees. For many organisations, some of the biggest risks can come from customers, clients, contractors, or members of the public, and employers should consider how they would respond if an employee experienced inappropriate behaviour from a third party.

Prevention is about being prepared
Don’t wait until a problem lands on your desk. A quick review of your current approach can often identify gaps that are easy to address before they become bigger issues.

Learn more about how we help employers review their workplace culture, policies, procedures, and training to ensure they are practical, legally compliant, and fit for purpose in our latest online article: https://www.haddletons.com/insights/harassment-at-work-prevention-starts-long-before-a-complaint

We’re always delighted to receive positive feedback from clients, particularly when it relates to helping businesses navigate complex and evolving areas of employment law.

Recently, Jacqui delivered training for IC Consult UK Ltd on both Sexual Harassment & Equality in the Workplace and the Employment Rights Act 2025, receiving fantastic feedback from attendees.

Here’s what they had to say:

“Jacqui delivers training in a way that everyone in the room can understand, no matter what position people hold. She creates a fun and engaging atmosphere that makes people feel very open to asking questions.”

“Jacqui’s way of delivering training was informative, easy to understand, engaging and knowledgeable. Our questions were answered in a manner that meant everyone understood and no-one was afraid to ask. Jacqui’s Employment Law knowledge is second to none.”

At Haddletons, we believe the best training is practical, engaging and relevant to the challenges employers face every day. Thank you to the team at IC Consult for their kind words and trust in our team.
