'Act now' | Line managers 'not ready' for Employment Rights Bill reforms, survey suggests

More than three quarters of businesses have yet to complete an impact assessment for the Employment Rights Bill reforms, leaving many organisations ill equipped for some of the most significant workplace legal changes in over a decade.

53% of HR and business leaders surveyed by WorkNest say they have not yet carried out an impact assessment, and a further 26% said they have no plans to do so. Just 5% have completed one, and 16% report they are currently in the process of doing one.
