The HR Exchange Performance Management Under the New Unfair Dismissal Rules

This HR Exchange session provides a practical overview of how the new unfair dismissal regime will affect performance management in real workplaces. Drawing on our experience supporting employers across a range of sectors, we will explore where organisations are most exposed, how traditional approaches to probation and capability need to evolve, and what tribunals are likely to expect once the reduced qualifying period comes into force. This session is not about over-engineering performance management. It is designed to help you understand what good looks like, avoid early missteps, and put proportionate, defensible processes in place ahead of the 2027 changes.

The HR Exchange | Settlement Agreements & Exit Processes

Employee exits represent one of the most sensitive and legally exposed points in the employment lifecycle. Whether arising from performance issues, workplace conflict, restructures or relationship breakdowns, the way an exit is managed can have far-reaching consequences for legal risk, employee relations and organisational reputation. Settlement agreements can be a powerful risk-management tool when used correctly. However, when relied upon without a sound underlying process, they can create rather than mitigate exposure. In an environment of increasing scrutiny around employer decision-making, documentation and procedural fairness, organisations must be confident that their exit processes are legally robust, commercially proportionate and handled with professionalism throughout. With Employment Rights reforms on the horizon and growing focus on confidentiality clauses and exit conversations, traditional approaches to settlement agreements are no longer enough. Settlement terms may not offer the protections they once did, particularly in cases involving discrimination, harassment or victimisation. Exit risk is evolving – and processes that fail to adapt risk leaving employers exposed. This session is designed to help employers understand not only what the law permits, but how to manage exits strategically, protecting the organisation while preserving dignity, control and credibility.
