HR Essentials for Small Employers: Stay Compliant Now and Get Ready for the 2026 Shake-Up

Protect your business, your people, and your peace of mind.



The biggest shift in UK employment law for over a decade is on its way and small employers cannot afford to be caught off guard.

This in-person training session with Kelly Bater, Founder of K Bater HR, will give you everything you need to stay compliant now and prepare for the 2026 employment reforms.

Delivered in plain English and packed with practical tools, this is an unmissable session for any small employer who wants confidence, clarity and compliance going into 2026.

Kelly Bater is the Founder of K Bater HR and has over 25 years of experience in HR management. She specialises in helping small businesses and charities navigate HR with confidence, from contracts and compliance to performance and culture. Known for her down-to-earth approach, Kelly makes complex employment law practical, understandable, and immediately usable.


Who should attend

  • Small business owners or directors who handle HR themselves
