Our Employment Rights Act 2025 training course provides managers and HR professionals with a clear and practical understanding of the upcoming reforms to UK employment law and how they will affect day-to-day management decisions.

The legislation introduces a wide range of changes which will be implemented gradually over several stages from 2026 onwards. Managers will play a key role in applying these changes in practice when dealing with common workplace issues such as performance management, disciplinary matters, flexible working requests, contractual changes and dismissal decisions.

Delivered from an HR and employment law perspective, this course focuses on practical workplace application rather than complex legal theory. Through discussion, examples and scenario-based learning, the training helps managers understand what the changes mean and how to respond appropriately in real situations.

All Bhayani Law training courses include comprehensive learning materials and access to a dedicated point of contact for course-related queries during the session and for four weeks following completion.

What the Session Covers

Overview of the Employment Rights Act 2025

The session explains the purpose and structure of the legislation, focusing on the aspects that will have the greatest impact on employers and managers.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of:

• The key objectives behind the reforms
• How the legislation will be implemented in stages
• What changes employers should begin preparing for now

Implementation Roadmap

Managers will learn how the reforms will be introduced over time and what developments are expected to take effect first.

• Which measures are already in force
• What changes are expected next
• What managers should begin preparing for in advance of implementation

Spotlight Areas Most Affected by the Act

The course highlights the areas of employment practice most likely to be affected by the new legislation.

The focus is on helping managers to:

• Recognise potential risk indicators in workplace situations
• Understand their responsibilities when dealing with employee issues
• Identify when specialist HR or legal support should be sought

Rather than expecting managers to memorise detailed legislation, the training concentrates on practical decision-making and risk awareness.

Why Managers Need This Training

The transition period while the reforms are being implemented creates potential legal and operational risks for employers.

Although policies may be updated over time, managers continue to make decisions on a daily basis that could have legal implications.

This training helps managers to:

• Understand when the new legal framework becomes relevant
• Recognise high-risk actions under the new employment law landscape
• Identify early warning signs of potential legal issues
• Escalate concerns to HR at the appropriate stage
• Manage workplace situations confidently while remaining compliant

Managers are often the first point of contact for employee concerns and therefore play an important role in reducing organisational risk.
