About

The Employment Rights Bill is set to introduce some of the most significant workplace reforms in recent years, bringing wide-ranging changes for employers in areas including employee rights, job security, leave entitlements, workplace wellbeing, and unfair dismissal protections. Alongside continuing increases in employer costs, these developments will present important strategic and operational challenges for family-owned businesses and their leadership teams.

In partnership with Forvis Mazars, Clarion and Family Business UK (FBUK), Bartlett are pleased to invite you to the following exclusive family business event. Join us for a practical discussion and Q&A on the implications of the Employment Rights Bill changes.

Speakers

• Deborah Warren – Partner at Clarions Employment Team
• Ian Goodwin – Partner in the Employment Tax Team at Forvis Mazars
• Matthew Jaffa – Public Affairs Director at Family Business UK (Chair)

Together they will discuss the wider tax and financial implications of these reforms for employers. This will include consideration of workforce costs, employment tax challenges and the strategic planning businesses should be undertaking ahead of implementation.

During this session we will explore what the proposed changes mean in practice, the key risks and opportunities for employers, and the steps organisations should be taking now to prepare.

Ideal for HR professionals, business leaders and decision-makers looking to stay ahead of upcoming workplace change.
