Employment rights | Just 1 in 6 HR teams fully confident their practices would stand up in tribunal

As the Government’s extensive Employment Rights Bill edges closer to taking effect, new research has revealed that many HR teams are uncertain whether their current practices would stand up to legal scrutiny.

According to the latest poll of over 300 employers by WorkNest, only 16% describe themselves as “very confident” that their organisation’s HR processes would stand up if challenged legally, while nearly one in five (18%) admit to being “not very confident” or “not confident at all.”  The majority (64%) say they feel only “fairly confident.”
