The Employment Rights Bill: How might it impact hospitality?
The Caterer’s Breakfast Briefing LIVE is where the insights from our daily email come to life in an engaging, early-morning forum.
This free, in-person event, in partnership with headline sponsor Harri and supporting partner JustTip, will bring together senior HR professionals and hospitality leaders to unpack one of the biggest upcoming legislative shifts for our sector: the Employment Rights Bill.
With sweeping reforms set to take effect from 2026 – including changes to unfair dismissal, sexual harassment legislation, flexible working, collective rights, and fire and re-hire – HR teams across the industry must start preparing now.
Over coffee and pastries, you’ll gain first-hand insight from leading experts and HR leaders on:
- What the Employment Rights Bill will really mean for hospitality
- How operators are preparing for increased regulation and employee rights
- Strategies to reduce risk, manage change and stay ahead of compliance challenges
This will be accompanied by networking sessions with fellow attendees from across the sector, making this an ideal opportunity for operators who want to stay informed and connected.
