Heads Up HR

Quest presents Heads Up HR, where we strip back the jargon and turn HR and Health & Safety into real, usable advice for growing businesses.

In this episode, we explore what the latest Employment Rights Act changes mean for employers following the first wave of updates introduced in April, and what businesses should be focusing on now.

Featuring our CIPD Level 5 qualified HR management expert, we take a practical, real-world look at how these employment law changes are affecting organisations day to day. From increased pressure around compliance to uncertainty around implementation, we break down what’s actually changing and how to approach it with confidence.

Rather than a legal deep dive, this episode focuses on what it feels like for employers navigating change, and how to move forward without becoming overwhelmed.

Whether you run an SME, manage a team, or handle HR responsibilities yourself, this episode will help you:

• Understand the key Employment Rights Act changes introduced in April
• Navigate updates to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) and absence management
• Improve record-keeping and stay compliant with new requirements
• Prepare for future changes, including unfair dismissal reforms
• Take a practical, step-by-step approach to implementing change
