The Employment Rights Act: are your HR systems and processes ready?
Webinar Overview
The Employment Rights Act 2025 represents one of the most significant shifts in UK employment law in a generation, and the real challenge for employers is no longer just understanding the changes, but embedding them into everyday operations.
As implementation timelines become clearer and expectations increase, many organisations are now facing a more practical question:
Are our HR systems and processes actually ready for this?
In this joint webinar, Impact HR and Tugela People will move beyond legal explanation and focus on what the Employment Rights Act means in practice, for your processes, your systems and your managers.
We will explore the key reforms, including unfair dismissal, statutory sick pay, flexible working and family-friendly rights, and translate them into operational impact for SME employers.
Crucially, we’ll look at where businesses are most exposed, inconsistent processes, manual ways of working, and gaps in documentation — and what needs to change to reduce risk and improve how you manage people day to day.
By combining Impact HR’s expertise in employment law and people processes with Tugela People’s expertise in HR systems and optimisation, this session will give you a clear, practical view of how to prepare your business with confidence.
