Employment Rights Act: Make Faster Decisions, Make Better Hires

The Employment Rights Act changes are going to place far greater pressure on businesses to make quicker, better-informed decisions about new hires. The days of allowing someone to drift through the first 12 to 18 months of employment without clear objectives, accountability or meaningful performance conversations are rapidly disappearing.

This session is designed for business owners, senior leaders and HR teams who want to understand what good recruitment, onboarding and early-stage performance management should actually look like in practice.

We’ll explore how businesses can create structured onboarding processes, set meaningful objectives from day one and equip managers to identify concerns early, while also ensuring new starters genuinely understand the organisation’s expectations, culture and direction.

The session will provide practical tools, frameworks and guidance to help businesses make confident employment decisions earlier, reduce risk and build more engaged, accountable teams aligned to the wider mission of the organisation.
