    Stay compliant with the latest UK workplace legislation

    The compliance landscape is evolving fast. From the Worker Protection Act (2024) to the Employment Rights Bill (2025), UK employers face growing legal obligations to prevent workplace harassment, misconduct, and discrimination. Compliance is no longer about ticking policy boxes – it’s about creating a positive workplace culture that actively prevents harm.

    Why workplace culture is now a compliance priority

    Regulators and government bodies such as the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) have made it clear: toxic or unsafe workplace behaviour is now a compliance issue. Employers must show they’re taking proactive, reasonable steps to eliminate sexual harassment and harmful conduct.

    The Ultimate Workplace Culture & Compliance Guide explains what every organisation must do to:

    • Stay compliant with new legal duties under the Worker Protection Act and Employment Rights Bill
    • Meet specific regulatory expectations for the NHS, Higher Education (OfS E6), Financial Services (FCA NFM rules) and Creative Industries (CIISA Standards)
    • Build a culture that reduces risk, protects employees, and strengthens reputation
