Our Next Webinar: Navigating Workplace Stress and Employment Law Update
Wednesday 24th September, 12pm
Workplace stress is no longer just an HR challenge, it’s a pressing legal and business issue. The reality is that 25% of UK workers report feeling unable to cope with workplace stress, while 79% of employees are experiencing moderate-to-high stress levels (with younger workers and women reporting the highest rates).
With new UK employment laws coming into effect in 2026, including day-one rights for unfair dismissal, sick pay, and parental leave, the stakes for employers have never been higher. That’s why we’re inviting you to our next free TMG webinar, hosted by Meeta Sahni and Tosh Polpitiye, where we’ll cover:
- What Workplace Stress Really Is and Why It Matters
