Navigating a respectful workplace culture
Businesses are facing challenges in a modern work environment which is increasingly multi-generational and diverse. Employees are more aware of their rights and seeking to hold employers accountable for their actions and the actions of other employees/third parties. Using a case study, we will share practical solutions and explore some of the issues that we are seeing employers grapple with including sexual harassment (a year on from the introduction of the preventative duty), neurodiversity, divergence in socio-political views and speak up culture.
Resources:
- Our array of support for dealing with sexual harassment
- Employment Rights Bill unpacked tougher stance on workplace harassment
- Coworking spaces: how can employers protect their workers from third party harassment?
- An end to gagging clauses?
- Embracing neurodiversity: How to create an inclusive workplace

A new dawn for unions
Unions are on the front foot. In this new dawn, new rights to workplace access, streamlined recognition routes and a more union‑friendly political and legal climate are reshaping the landscape. We'll explore what this means in practice: when unions may seek to contact or meet your workforce, how recognition bids are likely to play out, and the practical steps employers can take to stay compliant and maintain constructive employee relations.
