Going for Growth: Risk, Reforms & Recruitment

Employment law is changing, and for employers planning growth, restructures or new hires in the second half of the year, preparation starts now.

Join Castle for a practical, face-to-face employer update designed to help HR leaders, business owners and managers understand the latest Employment Rights Act changes, reduce risk and keep recruitment confident, fair and commercially effective.

With significant unfair dismissal reforms expected in January, this session will help employers understand what is changing, what it could mean for their organisation and the practical steps they should be taking now to prepare.

Whether you are hiring, restructuring, onboarding new starters or reviewing people processes, this session will provide practical insight to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Why attend?

You’ll leave with:

-Practical knowledge to help you prepare for upcoming employment law changes
-Clearer understanding of employer responsibilities and potential risk areas
-Confidence to review your current recruitment, onboarding and people processes
-Accessible tools to help your business plan and implement fair, consistent processes
-Practical actions you can take back into the business straight away

This is designed to be a practical employer briefing, not a theoretical legal seminar.
