This practical session is designed to help HR professionals, managers and business leaders understand what these reforms mean in practice and how to prepare their organisation with confidence.

We’ll break down the most significant and commercially relevant updates, including:

  • What’s changed so far: A clear overview of the key ERA 2025 changes newly in effect from August.
  • What’s coming next: A look ahead at upcoming reforms expected later in 2026/2027, so you can plan ahead.
  • Trade union reforms: Understanding the impact of changes to industrial action, recognition and workforce relations.
  • Sexual harassment obligations: What the strengthened duty means for employers, including practical steps to reduce risk and demonstrate compliance.
  • New responsibilities for employers, including expanded obligations to prevent third-party harassment and what this means in practice.
  • Practical implications for employers: What these changes mean day-to-day for your policies, processes and people management approach.
  • Key actions to take now: Clear, practical steps to help you prepare your organisation and stay ahead of legal risk.
