A big thank you to everyone who joined our HR webinar last week.
It was great to see so many construction businesses taking proactive steps to understand the major employment law reforms coming into force in 2026.
During the session, we explored the key April and October 2026 changes, including day-one parental leave rights, expanded Statutory Sick Pay, enhanced flexible working requirements, the introduction of the Fair Work Agency, increased redundancy costs, and new duties around sexual harassment prevention. We also focused on what these reforms mean specifically for the construction sector, where multi-site working, project deadlines and contractor arrangements add extra complexity.
If the webinar highlighted gaps in your current HR approach or raised questions about how ready your business is, a reminder that BeaconRisk offers tailored HR consultancy packages. From practical action plans to ongoing HR support, we’re here to help you stay compliant and prepared.
