The Government’s recent Employment Rights Bill put forward various reforms to protect employees. Supporters of the Bill argue that it will reduce exploitative practices, improve job quality and increase retention rates, and fuel economic growth by increasing productivity. The Bill’s detractors, however, argue that these new costs will disincentive employers from hiring – removing employment opportunities for many jobseekers and disproportionately impacting SMEs.

This virtual roundtable will bring together early-stage and established entrepreneurs with policymakers to unpack the proposed changes. The conversation will be chaired by Lord Leigh of Hurley. Lord Leigh is a Conservative life peer, a co-founder of Cavendish Corporate Finance, and an officer of the APPG for Entrepreneurship.
