Employment Rights Bill: The compliance tsunami
The research findings reveal the risk and readiness for the Employment Rights Bill.
The upcoming Employment Rights Bill is set to bring sweeping changes to how organisations manage people, policies and compliance. While its aim is to strengthen employee rights, for employers, and especially HR leaders, it raises serious questions:
- Are businesses ready to meet new obligations?
- What challenges will HR face in practice?
- How much preparation is happening now, and how much still needs to be done?
Commissioned by the Empowering People Group, this latest research gathered insights directly from employers and HR teams to uncover how prepared organisations truly are for the changes ahead. The findings reveal eye-opening insights about where organisations feel confident, where they’re struggling and what needs urgent attention.
- Impact assessment: 1 in 6 (17%) have not started an impact assessment, or aren’t even sure if one exists.
- AI and employee grievances: 46% think AI is adding complexity, supporting employees to raise more robust grievances.
- ER case management tools: Over 70% are still using spreadsheets to manage employee relations cases.
