Feel like you’ve hired the wrong person? 😬

This post is for you.

The law is changing and you can’t afford to skip the details ⚖️

From 1 January 2027, the qualifying period for unfair dismissal drops from 2 years to just 6 months for employees hired from 1 July 2026 onwards.

That means if you hire the wrong person, you’ll have far less room to exit them without legal risk.

And the cost of a bad hire doesn’t stop at tribunal claims.

It’s the wasted salary 💸
The management time ⏰
The impact on the rest of the team 👥
And the disruption of starting the whole recruitment process all over again.

The best protection?
Getting the hire right from the beginning.

👇 Here’s what every business owner should be focusing on now.

You check your financials every month 💰
But when was the last time you checked how your people are actually doing?

Most business owners don’t have a clear picture of where they stand on the people side of things. Not because they don’t care — but because there’s no quick way to take stock.

So we’ve created a simple mid-year people health check you can do in under 60 seconds ⏱️

Rate yourself Green 🟢 Amber 🟠 or Red 🔴 on each one.

How did you score? 👇
If you spotted a few amber or red areas, now’s the perfect time to put support in place before they become bigger issues.

World Environment Day is 5 June 🌍💚

More employees than ever are paying attention to how businesses approach sustainability, not just customers.

And for smaller businesses, being environmentally conscious doesn’t have to mean huge budgets or dramatic changes.

Sometimes it’s the smaller actions that make the biggest difference

🚗 Flexible working to reduce travel
📄Reducing unnecessary printing
🌱Supporting greener suppliers
♻️Encouraging a more mindful workplace culture

These things all contribute to a business people feel proud to work for.

A positive workplace culture and sustainability often go hand in hand 🤝

World Environment Day is a great opportunity to reflect on the small changes your business could make this year.

Think a bad hire just wastes a bit of time? 👀

A single bad hire at mid-manager level can cost your business over £132,000 💸
That’s more than three times their salary.

And from July 2026, employees gain unfair dismissal rights after just 6 months ⚖️

That means if a bad hire isn’t managed properly from day 1, you could be facing a tribunal claim.

Now is the time to tighten up your hiring process, onboarding and probation procedures before problems become expensive.
