The Employment Rights Act represents one of the most significant changes to UK employment law in a generation, and employers now face an important opportunity to strengthen their people practices alongside new legal duties.
In this episode of Good Employment Chatter, we’re joined by Niall Mackenzie, CEO of Acas — named Good Employment Awards 2025 Partner of the Year — to explore what the Employment Rights Act (referred to in this recording as the Employment Rights Bill) means in practice for employers.
Niall discusses how the legislation will be phased in, the implications for workplace relations, and why prevention, early conversations, and effective people management will be essential for employers looking to align with the Employment Rights Act and go beyond minimum compliance. From strengthened worker protections to the creation of a new Fair Work Agency, the conversation offers practical insight for employers in Greater Manchester who want to build fairer, more productive, and more resilient workplaces.
