Employment law in the UK is changing, and the pace of change is accelerating. The Employment Rights Act is set to introduce some of the most significant shifts in workplace legislation in years, and for HR professionals, business owners, and senior leaders, the window to prepare is narrowing.

To help you cut through the complexity, Select Group are hosting a practical, interactive employment law seminar on 9th June 2026 (8:30am – 10:30am) at the Chamberlain Hotel, near Tower Hill, London.

Places are limited. Register your interest.

What the seminar covers

This isn’t a dry legal update. Led by Angie Crush, a leading employment law specialist, the session is designed to be practical and discussion-led – with real-world examples, clear guidance, and space for your questions. There will also be a light breakfast and the chance to connect with peers.

The seminar will cover four key areas:

1. Trade union workplace access – are you ready for October?

Many employers have never had to think about trade unions. That’s about to change. 

New rules will give trade unions the right to access workplaces – including for recruitment and organising purposes – and the penalties for non-compliance are significant.

The seminar will walk through what this means for businesses with no prior union experience, how to prepare, and what steps to take if a formal access request lands on your desk.

2. Unfair dismissal – a major shift in employer risk

With unfair dismissal protection expected to apply from six months of employment (down from two years) and the removal of compensation caps, the stakes for getting dismissal wrong are considerably higher.

The session will cover how to manage underperformance, probationary periods, conduct issues, and exits in a way that remains commercially effective while reducing your legal exposure.

3. Harassment duties – the standard is getting higher

Employers are already under pressure to prevent workplace harassment. The new regime raises the bar further, requiring organisations to demonstrate genuine preventative action rather than reactive policy.

Angie will explore what “prevention” actually needs to look like in practice: audits, training, reporting channels, management accountability, third-party risks, and the harder questions around workplace culture.

4. Flexible and hybrid working – law, reality, and ongoing challenges

Flexible working rights continue to evolve, but many employers are still navigating the practical tensions hybrid working creates: inconsistent attendance, performance concerns, fairness between roles, and managing team culture across different working patterns.

The seminar will address both the legal changes and the day-to-day realities employers are facing right now.
