Navigating the UK’s new industrial relations framework

The Employment Rights Act reforms represent the most significant changes to UK industrial relations in decades. Enhanced trade union rights, greater workplace access, and changes to recognition and collective engagement frameworks will have implications for organisations across a wide range of sectors, not only those with established union relationships.

Join Penningtons Manches Cooper’s industrial relations specialists for a small-group roundtable discussion exploring the implications of these reforms, where trade unions may focus their activities, and the practical steps employers can take now.

Topics include:

• What do the new trade union rights and access provisions mean in practice?
• Which organisations are most likely to experience increased union activity?
• What should employers be doing now to prepare?
• How can businesses build constructive relationships with trade unions and employee representatives?
• What are the legal, operational and reputational risks if industrial relations issues are not managed proactively?

The session will be interactive, providing an opportunity for attendees to discuss challenges, share experiences and ask questions in a confidential setting.
