Join us to ensure your recruitment and probationary processes are fit for purpose, legally robust, and ready for what’s ahead!

Getting the employment relationship right from day 1 is vital. It sets the groundwork for what the employment relationship will look like and will hopefully make for a long and happy working relationship. Getting it wrong can be very risky for employers, exposing them to difficult members of staff and ultimately employment tribunal claims.

With significant changes to unfair dismissal rights proposed under the Employment Rights Act, including reducing the qualifying period for protection from two years to just six months, the way employers approach recruitment and probationary periods is set to change. These reforms have already started to come into force with many more on the way, meaning employers need to start preparing now.

In this session, we’ll cover the basics of recruitment and then take a deeper dive into the areas that will matter most under the new regime. We’ll explore how to structure and manage probationary periods effectively, how to identify and address issues early, and what steps you should be taking to reduce risk in light of the shortened timeframe for unfair dismissal protection.

If you’re a HR professional, a business owner or somebody with people responsibilities in your organisation, join us to ensure your recruitment and probationary processes are fit for purpose, legally robust, and ready for what’s ahead!
