From the Conference Floor: Real-World Lessons for HR Leaders
%20(1).png)
Workplace misconduct is evolving, and many HR processes are struggling to keep up. At this year’s Culture Shift Annual Conference, one thing was clear: what worked even a year ago isn’t enough anymore.
In this webinar join Gemma McCall (CEO) and Charlotte Taylor (Training Manager and ED&I Specialist) as they bring the most important conversations from the conference floor into a practical session for HR, People and Compliance leaders. You’ll hear what industry experts and legal professionals are seeing right now, and what it means for how you design, communicate and manage your approach to misconduct.
In this session, we explore:
- What “all reasonable steps” looks like in practice – not just on paper
- How plain language is becoming essential for trust, reporting and engagement
- Why co-creation is critical to building effective processes
- The reality behind protected beliefs, and where organisations get it wrong
- How to take a more human, practical approach to complex cases

The NDA Ban Under the Employment Rights Act: What It Means for HR
When you can no longer buy silence, you have to invest in safety. That's the shift HR teams now need to plan for. Some organisations have historically leaned on settlement agreements and non-disclosure agreements to resolve harassment complaints quietly, keeping the details contained and the reputational risk low. The Employment Rights Act 2025 closes that option down. Once the NDA ban comes into force, a culture of silence stops being something the law will let you enforce.
Third Party Harassment: The Blind Spot in Most Workplace Harassment Policies
Most harassment policies are built around one scenario: two colleagues, one incident. But a lot of harassment comes from outside the organisation - customers, clients, patients, delegates - and the law is catching up. Learn what third party harassment looks like in practice, where employer liability stands under the Worker Protection Act, and what changes from October 2026 under the Employment Rights Act, including a higher bar for "reasonable steps" and liability from the first incident.
Internal vs External Reporting Systems: What's Best for HR Teams?
Most organisations already have some way for staff to raise a concern: a line manager, an HR inbox, a form on the intranet nobody's touched since 2019. The question HR teams are asking now isn't whether they have a reporting system, it's whether the one they've got is good enough.
