Executive summary
Already operating in a world of complexity, and with a productivity problem that has stood still since 2008 (Kilfoyle, 2024), companies are now faced with a raft of legislation, of which the Employment Rights Bill is front and centre.
Its wide-ranging proposals were described by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner as “the biggest upgrade to rights at work for a generation” (Forsters, 2024).
Amid these developments, this report examines how the evolving regulatory landscape in the UK represents a pivotal moment for many HR teams, enabling a shift from mere compliance management to proactive organisational transformation.
This change demands a strategic approach that positions HR as a key driver of organisational resilience and competitive advantage.
