The Employment Rights Act 🌶️ - #1

The Employment Rights Act – comprising a raft of once in a generation employment reforms - is now fast becoming a reality for UK based businesses.

The optics and adverse nature of the narrative surrounding the Act – has heavily influenced perceptions and interpretation of the reforms as being exclusively adverse, negative and damaging for business.

The stark reality is that we’re all now in a new era. Our focus is to help clients explore and identify the potential upside and positive opportunities that ERA help unlock for smart thinking and fast acting employers.
