Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Workplace Health - grasping the nettle
Q: My question to you, Lindsey, is if you were to give employers one piece of advice that they could do tomorrow to change things and make it better, what would that be?
Get a handle on what's going on in your own organization by reviewing last year's absence drivers, then address the main causes quickly and ensure support is available to all employees, not just targeted life stages, to avoid divisiveness.
Single-sex Services and the new EHRC Code of Practice
Q: In the meantime, what do you think employers need to be doing?
She recommends reviewing policies to ensure alignment with the services code, preparing for the implications on toilets and single-sex services, and seeking legal advice for specific workplace scenarios.
Single-sex Services and the new EHRC Code of Practice
Q: What happens next, Sarah?
She notes ministerial approval, a 40-day parliamentary review window, and likely entry into force soon after, while emphasizing the ongoing consultations and the forthcoming employment code update.
Single-sex Services and the new EHRC Code of Practice
Q: So Sarah, please tell me all about this (draft Code and its implications).
Sarah explains that the draft code expands beyond single-sex spaces to interpret the Equality Act for public bodies, service providers, and associations, with a focus on biological sex and justified restrictions in certain circumstances.
Employment rights and sponsor obligations – lessons from a recent tribunal case
Q: What would you say are the practical takeaways from this case?
Employers sponsoring overseas workers must ensure roles are genuine and align with the sponsorship terms, avoid onboarding before work is available, and strictly follow certificate-of-sponsorship salary and hours requirements, or risk unlawful wage deductions and penalties.
