ANYONE LOOKING FOR HR OR H&S SUPPORT - AVENSURE ARE OFFERING THE FOLLOWING:
EVENT INFORMATION:
Good morning,
Please find below the details for the Employment Law event taking place in Dumfries.
As an employer, it is your legal duty to ensure that your business complies with the new Employment Rights reforms, which came into effect on 6th April 2026. Many existing employment contracts and workplace policies will now require careful review and updating. Taking prompt action is essential to minimise regulatory exposure and reduce the risk of employment tribunal claims.
As part of these changes, the new Fair Work Agency will introduce significantly stronger enforcement, with powers to investigate workplace practices, impose penalties for non-compliance, and support employees bringing tribunal claims, even where issues have not previously been raised internally. This comes at a time when tribunal claims are already rising, leaving businesses with far less margin for error.
This forum will show you how to turn regulatory change into commercial advantage. We will explore how proactive management of everyday HR challenges, such as sickness absence, conduct, and performance, can not only reduces legal exposure but also enhance productivity and safeguard profitability. You will leave with practical tools to handle difficult conversations with confidence, allowing you to focus on growing your business.
Exclusive to 50 businesses, this business-critical forum also provides a valuable opportunity to network with like-minded employers and discuss how these changes affect your sector.
