Precept HR & Law Continues to Help Employers Navigate a Changing Employment Law Landscape

With employment law continuing to evolve at pace, Precept HR & Law has expanded its programme of training events to help employers stay informed, compliant and confident when managing workplace challenges.

Over recent months, the team has delivered a series of online, in-person and client-specific training sessions covering some of the most important issues affecting HR professionals and business leaders today. From the Employment Rights Act 2025 and artificial intelligence to menopause, neurodiversity and trade unions, the sessions are designed to provide practical guidance without unnecessary legal jargon.

The programme combines expert legal insight with interactive learning, including Precept’s popular mock grievance meetings, where the team uses role play to demonstrate both good and bad practice. These engaging sessions have become a favourite among attendees, helping managers build confidence in handling difficult workplace conversations.

Some of the recent training sessions delivered by the team include:

Menopause in the Workplace – Port Vale Football Club, Stoke-on-Trent

Delivered by Rob Tice, this session explored the impact of menopause in the workplace and how employers can better support employees experiencing menopausal symptoms. The session also highlighted the government’s plans for mandatory menopause action plans for larger employers from 2027 and why organisations should start preparing now.
