Flexible working
In October 2024 the Government launched a major overhaul of employment law in the form of the Employment Rights Bill. A number of important amendments have been introduced since the proposed legislation was first published. Stephen Simpson, principal editor at Brightmine, joins the podcast to provide an update and help HR departments prepare for the changes.
Jo Broadbent, counsel knowledge lawyer at Hogan Lovells, and Brightmine senior legal editor Laura Merrylees discuss the new right to neonatal care leave and look at likely forthcoming changes to family-friendly employment rights in the Employment Rights Bill.
In this webinar, Brightmine legal editors Stephen Simpson and Zeba Sayed explain what the changes are going to be, what employers can do now to begin preparing and the potential timelines for implementation.
The rules around COVID-19 were very clearly drawn in 2020. But what is the state of play now, not just in relation to COVID but to illness in the workplace generally? What should organisations do about employees who are nervous about returning to the workplace? Or about at-risk employees, particularly when infection rates are high? Or about long COVID - is it now treated as a disability?
We discuss the key employment law changes expected to come into force this year and reflect on some important case law decisions from 2023.
In this edition of the podcast, we are joined by XpertHR senior legal editor Laura Merrylees to answer questions around flexible working reforms in the media and elsewhere recently.
In this webinar we explore how we can: look at hybrid differently in terms of culture, policies, engagement and inclusion not for the many, but for the individual; personalise the hybrid employee experience; and create a hybrid approach that taps into the best of what it could be, and avoids leaving it all to chance.
XpertHR's Noelle Murphy and Gemma Dale, HR professional, author and lecturer at Liverpool's John Moores University, discuss the challenges and issues that HR departments are currently grappling with, and expect to deal with in 2023.
Gemma Dale joins us to talk about progress to date with hybrid working, including dealing with reluctant returners, cultivating the right culture, building trust, and what HR should be advising senior leaders in terms of the way forward.
Stephen Simpson, principal employment law editor here at XpertHR, joins us to talk about how employers that are operating under a hybrid working model must ensure that their sickness absence management procedures sit comfortably alongside their new working arrangements.
