Unfair Dismissal: What Professional Services Employers Need to Know

Changes to the unfair dismissal qualifying period under the Employment Rights Act are approaching, and professional services employers need to consider what the reforms could mean for recruitment, probation, performance management and employee relations.

We’ll look at the key areas employers should be considering now, from recruitment and onboarding through to managing performance and making employment decisions.

During the webinar, we will cover:

• What the Employment Rights Act changes mean for professional services employers
• How the new unfair dismissal qualifying period may affect recruitment and employment decisions
• Reviewing probation processes and expectations
