Director Podcast  The Employment Rights Bill

As Parliament heads into summer recess, the Employment Rights Bill continues its journey through the House of Lords, having reached report stage. Meanwhile, the government has released its implementation roadmap, offering a clearer, though still evolving, picture of how these reforms will roll out in practice.

With the potential to reshape key aspects of employment law, this Bill is one of the most significant developments for UK employers in recent years.

In this episode, host Ben Walker sits down with Alex Hall-Chen, IoD Principal Policy Advisor for Employment, and Jim Wright, International employment law partner at Knights, to unpack what the Employment Rights Bill means for businesses and business leaders across the UK.

Together they explore how the Bill has been received by employers so far, what concerns have been raised by IoD members, and whether those concerns have been reflected in the government’s approach. And from a legal perspective, we delve into the most impactful changes on the horizon and what organisations, particularly SMEs, should be preparing for now.
