Liz Prince is speaking at the following session/s
Hiring for Success Under the New UK Employment Rights Act
The new UK Employment Rights Act represents one of the most significant shifts in employment protection in recent years, with shorter qualifying periods for unfair dismissal and increased scrutiny on hiring decisions. For employers, this means that recruitment mistakes will carry risk much earlier in the employment lifecycle.
This session explores how hiring processes must evolve to remain effective, defensible, and fair under the new legal landscape. Liz Prince will break down what the changes mean in practice for employers, particularly around selection criteria, interviews, probationary periods, and decision-making documentation.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of why traditional informal or ‘culture-fit’ driven hiring approaches may no longer be sufficient, and how to build structured, evidence-based recruitment processes that reduce legal exposure while still supporting great hires. The session focuses on practical steps organisations can take now to future-proof their hiring, from redefining role requirements to improving assessment methods and record-keeping.
Designed for leaders, HR professionals, and hiring managers, this talk provides actionable guidance to help studios continue hiring with confidence in a tighter, faster-moving employment law environment.
