Welcome to Not Another HR Podcast – the podcast for HR people who want practical conversations, not textbook answers.
In this episode, Alastair and Rachel talk through some of the big employment law changes coming down the line and what they actually mean for businesses trying to operate in the real world.
From statutory sick pay changes and paternity rights, to sexual harassment laws, AI-generated grievances, and the explosion of DSARs, this episode looks at the messy reality of HR right now.
Rather than focusing on technical legal theory, the conversation explores the practical challenges HR teams and managers are facing:
-Managing short-term absence when sick pay rules change
-Why sexual harassment laws are putting new obligations on employers
-The unintended consequences of settlement agreement changes
-The rise of ChatGPT-written grievances
-Why more employees seem to be raising complaints
-How employers can deal with long, complex grievances without losing their minds
If you work in HR, leadership, or run a business, this episode is about what’s really happening on the ground — and how to deal with it.

Not Another HR Podcast is a practical, no-nonsense podcast about the realities of HR, employment law, and running businesses with people in them.
Hosted by HR consultant Alastair from EZHR…
Each episode tackles the issues HR professionals, managers and business owners are dealing with right now — from new legislation and tribunal trends to workplace culture, grievances, investigations and the occasional completely unexpected problem.
Rather than getting lost in legal theory, the focus is on what actually works in practice: how businesses are responding, where employers get caught out, and how HR teams can navigate the growing complexity of managing people.
Expect honest conversations, practical insight, and the occasional rant about policies no one reads.
If you work in HR, manage people, or run a business, this podcast is about figuring it out as we go along.
(All discussions are opinions and general commentary, not legal advice.)
