💼 Today, Make UK CEO Stephen Phipson CBE joined fellow leaders of business organisations from the ‘B5’ for the group’s first meeting with Rt Hon Rachel Reeves as Chancellor. Among the topics discussed was #IndustrialStrategy, with Stephen applauding the new Government for its commitments to one, and the accompanying Council, while reminding the Chancellor of the need for further detail and reassurances around the timeframe to implement such a strategy, so that businesses can plan investments accordingly. Make UK is also hoping the proposed Industrial Strategy Council will include representation from #UKmfg. On the Government’s plans to Make Work Pay, Stephen stressed that manufacturing was already above the thresholds of many of the proposals and that employers be consulted on the design and implementation of the key measures, and receive reassurances about the potential costs, alongside a commitment to flexibility for employers as well as employees so firms can continue to respond to fast-paced labour market changes. All eyes will now be on the upcoming Spending Review where Make UK hopes to see action on the skills gap, infrastructure and bringing forward CBAM.

The Labour Government plans to deliver “the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation”. Key changes include: 💡 banning “exploitative” zero-hour contracts; 💡 statutory sick pay from day one of sickness absence; and 💡 flexible working becoming the default from day one. These are just a few of the Government’s proposals... To hear more about how the Government’s plans could impact your business, join one of our Autumn Employment Law Updates. During these sessions, our legal experts will also run through some key employment law decisions from the last 6 months and how these could impact on your HR practices.
