Welcome to The Work Couch, the podcast series where we explore how your business can navigate today's tricky people challenges and respond to key developments in the ever-evolving world of employment law.

We kick off Season 3 with a look ahead to 2025, we will explore the employment law changes on the horizon as well as what you can be doing to prepare.

Strengthened trade union rights proposed by the Employment Rights Bill, including those relating to:

• Informing employees of their right to join a union
• Extension to time limits for bringing employment tribunal claims
• Creation of a Fair Work Agency to enforce certain rights
