91% of UK employers say they're not fully prepared for the Employment Rights Act (Birketts). Don't wait until the changes land to work out what they mean for your organisation.

Get ready to lead through the changes ahead with a clearer view of what's coming, how to get your board behind it, and where AI changes your remit.

You'll leave ready to:

→ Turn legal changes into practical action across pay, restructuring and employee wellbeing so you can be confident your policies will stand up.

→ Turn people priorities into business cases your board can get behind.

→ Understand where AI genuinely changes your remit and where it's simply puts a new label on familiar people challenges.

→ Compare notes and have candid conversations with peers who are facing the same pressure, scrutiny and uncertainty.
