The forthcoming Employment Rights Bill is expected to bring significant legislative changes over the coming years. To support businesses in preparing, we are compiling a series of concise guides that outline practical steps to take now. Many of these recommendations reflect established good practice, but they also provide a gentle reminder to business leaders, especially in SMEs, to review and strengthen their people management policies and processes. Our first guide focuses on performance management – an area that not only drives team motivation and productivity but will also take on greater importance with the proposed legislation changes.
