    Why this guide matters

    The Employment Rights Bill represents a cultural turning point. For the first time, employers will be held to a higher duty of care – not just to respond well when harm occurs, but to actively prevent it.

    Our guide helps you cut through the noise and understand what the Bill means for your people, your policies and your culture.

    The risks of waiting

    Many organisations are assuming that detailed government guidance will arrive before taking action. But the Bill introduces standards that require long-term preparation, including:

    • enhanced harassment prevention requirements
    • clearer expectations around reporting and whistleblowing
    • more accountability for third-party behaviour
    • the end of NDAs that silence harassment
