Webinar overview:

The landscape of workplace inclusion is evolving rapidly. While equality legislation forms the foundation, forward-thinking organisations recognise that true impact comes from going beyond mere compliance. Following the significant employment rights reforms introduced by the UK Labour government in 2025, this essential session looks ahead to consider what are the emerging trend for 2026. We’ll examine: 

• Any upcoming legislative developments that will reshape workplace policies. 
• Emerging local and global Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) trends reshaping organisation’s culture. 
• Strategic governmental initiatives that progressive employers should prepare for now. 

Join Inclusive Employers to develop the foresight and strategies needed to create sustainable impact for your employees, stakeholders, and business in an evolving inclusion landscape.
