Adapting to proposed UK Employment Legislation Changes for fairer employee treatment

In this follow-up episode of Finding your North Star, Kim Jones welcomes back Stacey Mead from HR Department, to discuss the significant changes proposed to UK employment legislation by the newly-elected Labour government. They explore key topics such as the transformation of unfair dismissal rights to a day one entitlement, the clarity sought for employment statuses, and potential regulations on 'fire and rehire' practices, as well as exploring the implications of zero-hours contracts and the 'right to switch off'. They conclude there is a need for businesses, particularly smaller firms, to be educated in how to adapt to these changes for fairer employee treatment and competitive advantage.
