September’s Breakfast Briefing – Fire and Rehire

Catch up with September’s Breakfast Briefing – Fire and Rehire

With the recent updates to the Employment Rights Bill, “fire and rehire” is entering a new era—one that carries significant legal, operational, and cultural risks for organisations. Employers who fail to adapt not only face potential litigation and compliance issues but also risk damaging employee trust, morale, and long-term engagement.

This focused half-hour session is designed for those with HR and people management responsibilities who are at the frontline of implementing policy and guiding people through change.

In this session, we’ll explore:

  • The latest legal updates on “fire and rehire” under the new legislation—what’s changing and why it matters.

  • The real-world risks of getting it wrong, from tribunal exposure to reputational damage and fractured employee relations.

  • Practical strategies HR, legal, and managers can apply immediately to strengthen policies, safeguard compliance, and maintain trust through clear communication.

  • An interactive Q&A, giving you the chance to explore challenges specific to your organisation.
