Food & Agribusiness AM: breakfast briefing session (1)

What do employers need to know and do?  How will the agri, food and hospitality sectors be affected? 

Over the coming months, employers in the food, agribusiness and hospitality sectors will see a wave of employment law changes that particularly affect businesses relying on seasonal, agency or zero‑hours workers. Many of these reforms raise important questions for a sector already managing high turnover, difficult‑to‑fill roles and tight margins, and recent updates have created uncertainty about the practical steps employers should already have taken.

In our next breakfast briefing, we will look at what these immediate changes mean in practice. We will also consider the further reforms on the horizon, including predictable‑hours rights, compulsory equality action planning, changes to unfair dismissal rules and the restrictions on fire‑and‑re‑hire due in 2026.

We will be joined by one of our employment lawyers, who will guide us through how these developments impact agri‑food businesses specifically, and what employers should be doing now to prepare.
