Unionised or Not | How the Employment Rights Act 2025 will affect your organisation
The Employment Rights Act 2025 introduces some of the most significant ever changes to employer-union relations.
The Act makes union recognition easier, introduces new workplace access rights, enhances the rights of union representatives and changes the rules and protections around industrial action. Together, these reforms will create a new employee relations landscape for employers across all sectors.
For HR leaders, the challenge isn’t simply understanding the legislation. It’s understanding what these changes mean for workforce engagement, organisational flexibility and employee relations strategy.
Whether your organisation is unionised or not, now is the time to assess your risks, strengthen employee voice and prepare for the key provisions coming into force throughout 2026.
In this session, ESP Solicitors Partners Tim Cross and Neil Guss explore the practical implications of the new trade union reforms and explain the steps employers should be taking now to prepare.
