HR expert to outline key workplace changes for 2026

Are you ready for the HR changes coming in 2026?

Small and medium-sized business owners are being encouraged to prepare for upcoming HR and employment law changes expected in 2026.

Lucy Smith, Senior HR Consultant at Ashfield HR, will lead an online briefing titled Your 2026 HR Check List, designed to help employers review their people practices ahead of the new year.

The session will explore five key areas for business readiness: compliance, culture, performance, talent, and systems, with clear, practical actions to support ongoing compliance and workforce confidence. Participants will also receive a downloadable checklist and the option to book a short follow-up consultation to discuss their priorities.

Further information and session registration details are available on the Ashfield HR website.

Ashfield HR said the briefing aims to give smaller organisations practical insight into the changes ahead and confidence to adapt effectively in 2026.
