We are still buzzing from the FF Europe x Left Lane Fast Growth Summit in Berlin last week, where Tracy Davies and Franzi Gossmann from our European team joined with Series A+ CEOs, investors, and founders to explore the next major advancements in the rapidly evolving European tech space 🚀 Our highlights: 🔹 Joining a roundtable with Szymon Sypniewicz (Ramp) & Jorge Lluch (Abacum) to explore financial innovation and scaling products and services in the current global financial ecosystem 🔹 Discussing how to develop high-performing engineering teams as you scale with Vikas Gupta (Tier), Gaurav Agarwal (GetYourGuide), and Eric Goldstein (Goodwin) 🔹 Hearing from Daniel Khachab (Choco), Hovhannes Avoyan (Picsart), and Elisabeth L'Orange (Oxolo) on the necessity for companies to not just adopt AI but to centre their strategies around it, to remain relevant in a competitive tech landscape. 🔹 And as always, the pitches from the Rising Stars and Disruptors, including Laine Bruzek (Evvy) and Felicia von Redum (Ovum Care). Berlin made an amazing backdrop as a critical hub propelling Europe’s fast-growing tech ecosystem! It was great to see what's happening in this city and beyond.... 🇩🇪 #FoundersHR #FFEurope #LeftLane #FoundersForum #Berlin #Tech #Innovation #Scaleups #Startups #WhereTheFutureUnfolds Carolyn Dawson

Like our colleagues at Founders Law, we are very intrigued to see what the new government will do with regard to the changes to unfair dismissal requirements that they have promised, and how it affects the process during probation. Watch this space!
So. according to the Financial Times, Labour’s plan to introduce day 1 unfair dismissal rights will be subject to employers being able to keep new hires on probation for up to six months. I imagine businesses will be immediately amending their template contracts to increase their probation periods if they don’t currently have this provision or use a shorter length! I am intrigued to see what the draft Bill actually says around what will be required for a fair dismissal during those 6 months. In particular, will a formal process need to followed and how much opportunity to improve/training will need to be offered if there are performance concerns. I suspect the draft Bill will not include much detail around this either, but I will keep you posted if/when more information becomes available. #employmentlaw #unfairdismissal #probation

As September comes to a close, we’re taking a moment at Founders HR to reflect on what an incredible month it’s been! We’ve had the privilege of connecting with a diverse group of founders at various Founders Forum Group and Tech Nation events. Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve been up to... 💳 It all started with the inaugural CFO Forum, engaging with some of the UK’s brightest CFOs to discuss all things finance within the startup ecosystem. 🚀 Then it was off to Tech Nation's launch of their next #FutureFifty cohort at Daylesford Organic in the Cotswolds, where our Founder Tracy Davies co-hosted a roundtable on "Scaling Your Culture as You Grow" (and we even got to witness Richard Browning take flight!). 📈 Next, we headed to the #Upscale event at The Century Club in Soho to meet the latest cohort of the UK’s most promising startups. This program is tailored for ambitious founders and their leadership teams, with a strong focus on gearing up for Series B investment - the room was buzzing! 🎉 We were excited to join Tech Nation's #Creo cohort at the Royal College of Surgeons, celebrating disabled founders and innovators working in the disability space. 🇬🇧 At the #GovTech reception in Mayfair, we marked a significant moment for the public and private sectors' collaboration through tech, where Founders Forum Group also announced the relaunch of The GovTech Summit in partnership with PUBLIC. 💸 And finally, we saw the future of venture capital take shape at the official launch of the new Founders Forum Group VC Summit, held at the iconic Christie’s London. What a month! If we missed you at the event please email - we'd love to chat - and we look forward to seeing many of you at Founders Forum Europe in Berlin in October!

From 26 October 2024, employers must proactively take “reasonable steps” to prevent the sexual harassment of their staff at work. The new duty under the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 is a seismic change in UK discrimination law. It seeks to put strict obligations on employers to prevent sexual harassment from taking place. The duty requires employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment against its workers by other workers. It is also “preventative” which means that employers should not wait for an incident to occur before taking action. You must take active, reasonable steps which requires anticipating potential incidents, reviewing policies and educating staff, identifying risk areas including review of past incidents and looking at investigative, reporting and recording processes as well as ensuring that perpetrators are dealt with robustly. Founders HR can help to ensure you are compliant with these new obligations! Reach out today for a confidential discussion.

Australians now have the "Right to disconnect" - and it seems the UK are close behind...
NEWS ALERT! Australia has now introduced the "right to disconnect' law, giving employees the right to disconnected from work communications after hours, in a bid to improve work-life balance and mental health. Under this legislation, Australians can now legally ignore calls and emails from their bosses after office hours without facing any repercussions. Despite being met by mixed reactions and criticised for being "rushed through", the decision follows a global trend, with countries like France, Germany, and Italy already implementing similar measures. 🇬🇧 In the UK, the conversation around the right to disconnect is gaining traction. The UK government is exploring options for introducing similar legislation as part of its commitment to modernising workers’ rights. Consultations are underway, drawing inspiration from models in Belgium and Ireland, where the right to switch off has been incorporated into national labor laws. Although no law has been passed yet, the Labour Party has promised to address this issue in future employment rights reforms, particularly in response to the growing prevalence of hybrid work.

Not all HR teams are created equal... and we aren't all miserable! 😀 To hear how Founders HR provides a different perspective on becoming effective partners within your organisation, reach out today.
Why does everybody hate HR? A well-functioning HR department can bring incredible value to a business. Many entrepreneurs rightly claim, "People are my most important asset"... so having a strong People team to manage this asset is crucial. So, why the negativity towards HR? Well because - let’s be honest - we can be quite annoying. Processes, compliance, documentation - this isn’t what you want to be spending your time on when trying to move quickly and decisively. And it's not just you. A recent article from The New York Times highlights that HR teams remain unpopular in many companies, regardless of the industry... which in turn is making your HR teams themselves miserable. “People in HR tend to be very compassionate, very empathetic,” said Hebba Youssef, the Chief People Officer at Workweek. “But a lot of employees look at us as inherently evil.” Harsh? Perhaps. And often unfair (partially because of visibility - people notice when HR handles layoffs - but not when we fight to save jobs!) . However there are some common misconceptions behind it: 👿 HR is seen as the corporate "police." 👿 There’s a focus on compliance and process over understanding the business. 👿 Endless forms and lengthy employee policies. 👿 Mandatory, cumbersome processes. 👿 An inclination for telling you what you can’t do. It’s time to shift this perception. As HR professionals, we need to actively demonstrate the value we bring - not just to business leaders but to all stakeholders - and provide a tangible impact. It’s not about what you can’t do; it’s about how you can get it done. What do you think? How can we change this perception? https://lnkd.in/gT3ZRdNs
So, Human Resources Is Making You Miserable?

🚀 Staying Ahead of the Curve: AI may be the Game-Changer that your Business Needs As AI continues to reshape the world of work, the real opportunity - and challenge! - lies in empowering both employees and leaders to harness its full potential. 💡 AI isn’t just an add-on anymore - it can be the backbone of strategy and innovation when leveraged effectively. 🔍 The Disconnect: Nearly 80% of leaders say their business uses AI in some context. Yet, over half of employees don’t know how their organisation uses it. This highlights a significant gap. While employees are eager to embrace AI and the opportunities it offers, many don’t know where to start. 📈 Endless Use Cases: From Talent Acquisition to Sales Forecasting and Fraud Detection, AI has countless applications that can drive meaningful impact across your business. But with this evolution comes a crucial need: upskilling. 🎯 Why Upskilling Matters: For Employees: It boosts career advancement and productivity. For Businesses: It future-proofs your organisation, keeping you competitive in a dynamic environment. On that note, we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Multiverse on a dynamic and engaging program designed to equip your employees with essential AI knowledge and business insights. 🌟 Best of all? It’s fully funded (read: free!). This initiative kicks off in September - explore the details in the link below. A few spots remain, so don’t miss out! Secure your place before registration closes this week. Please comment below or email franzi@foundershr.co to register for the briefing session! https://lnkd.in/edHK8HCE
