UNITED KINGDOM WEBINAR
What Every Manager Needs to Know About Enhanced Trade Union Rights and Employee Consultation Obligations
📅 Thursday 25th June | 10:30am - 11:30am
Trade union reforms coming into force in 2026 could have implications for employers of all sizes, regardless of whether they currently have union members. Combined with existing consultation requirements around workplace change, redundancy and TUPE, managers need a clear understanding of their responsibilities.
This webinar will explain what is changing, what employers should be doing now, and how to prepare.

About This Webinar
Many employers assume that the trade union reforms expected in October 2026, under the Employment Rights Act 2025, will have little relevance to their organisation because they do not currently recognise a union or have any union members (as far as they are aware…). However, the reforms are intended to strengthen trade union rights and make it easier for unions to engage with workers in a much wider range of workplaces - regardless of size or sector.
At the same time, employers already face numerous consultation and employee engagement obligations that are often overlooked until a problem arises. From redundancy exercises and TUPE transfers to the allocation of tips and wider workplace change, managers are increasingly expected to understand when consultation and engagement is required and how to approach it effectively.
This practical webinar will explore both the existing consultation obligations affecting employers today and the trade union reforms that could influence employee relations in the years ahead. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of the changing landscape and practical steps they can take to prepare.
