The Employment Rights Act 2025 represents the most significant reform of UK employment law in decades and will reshape the relationship between employers and employees. Over the next two years, changes will introduce stronger workplace protections, expand employee rights and increase employer obligations and create tougher enforcement mechanisms.
While employers with 250 or more employees are already required to publish their annual gender pay gap data, the focus is set to move beyond reporting and towards accountability. Action plans, which are currently voluntary, are expected to become mandatory from 2027.
These plans will require organisations to set out the practical steps they are taking to address their gender pay gap and a renewed focus on supporting employees experiencing menopause.
Email us on info@skills4uk.com to discuss our Navigating Peri/Menopause at Work programme, and how this can support these upcoming changes.
We recently had the privilege of hosting Katy Robinson MCIOB to talk about the Release the Bogs campaign – and the findings make for uncomfortable reading.
61.4% of women working on construction sites said they avoid drinking because of the toilets available to them.
Even more concerning, one woman told Katy:
“When pregnant, I physically wet myself due to not being able to access a toilet.”
🎙️ Want to hear more? You can listen back to our conversation with Katy on the podcast, where we explore the research, the realities faced by both men and women on site, and why it’s time to Release the Bogs.

We’ve launched two brand-new, on-demand programmes
Unlike traditional e-learning, these facilitator-led sessions are grounded in real workplace scenarios, practical application, and evidence-based approaches that participants can immediately put into practice.
High-performing organisations are built on environments where people feel confident to contribute ideas, ask questions, challenge constructively, and bring their authentic selves to work.
Our new Psychological Safety & Allyship development sessions provide a flexible and engaging way to build awareness, confidence, and capability across your workforce.
Available in two versions:
Foundation (90 minutes) – ideal for all employees to build understanding and awareness.
Development (2 hours) – designed specifically for managers and people leaders to strengthen inclusive leadership capability and create psychologically safe teams.
Peri/menopause can affect people in different ways. For some, the impact is minimal. For others, changes in energy, concentration, confidence, wellbeing or performance can create challenges both at work and at home.
This 5-module programme focuses on the confidence, communication and self-advocacy skills that help employees navigate this important life transition positively and proactively. Alongside the programme, participants receive personalised 1:1 support from our accredited coaches, to consolidate learning, explore individual challenges and dig deeper into practical tools and strategies.
