Employment Rights Act 2025, AI and the future workplace: a practical one-day conference

The Employment Rights Act 2025 (ERA 2025) introduces the most significant update to Great Britain’s workplace protections in over a decade. At the same time, organisations are adapting to fast‑developing workplace technologies, new expectations of flexibility and the increasing use of AI in day‑to‑day decision‑making.

This practical one‑day conference is designed for anyone responsible for people, policy, compliance or organisational change. Through expert-led briefings, real‑world examples and interactive breakouts, you’ll gain clarity on the new legislation, understand how AI is shifting workplace practice and leave with tools to strengthen processes and prepare your organisation for the year ahead.

How can employers prepare confidently for what’s coming?

The ERA 2025 will require employers to update contracts, handbooks, sick pay arrangements and key procedures including probation, performance, conduct and redundancy. These updates take time to get right, especially where consultation, communication or manager capability building is needed.

At the same time, workplaces are evolving. AI is influencing how decisions are made, what counts as evidence, and how disputes emerge. Managers need clarity and organisations need consistent, well‑designed processes to reduce risk and support fair outcomes. This conference provides the space to step back, make sense of these developments and understand the practical steps that will help you prepare - not only for the ERA 2025, but for the wider changes shaping the future workplace.
