Members can access two upcoming webinars from BVRLA partner, WorkNest, to support understanding of Employment Law, HR, and Health and Safety.
WorkNest’s upcoming webinars available to members include:
Probation Periods - preparing for six-month unfair dismissal protection
Probation periods are often misunderstood, which is a common way in which employers get caught out.
Used properly, probation isn’t a tick-box exercise. It’s a defined window to evaluate performance, address concerns early, and make confident decisions before full employment rights take effect. This window is about to shrink. With the qualifying period reducing to six months, the margin for error will be far smaller and the risk of getting it wrong much greater.
Join WorkNest on 12 March at 2pm for this free 60-minute webinar to make sure your probation processes are strong, compliant, and ready before the law changes.

Closing the Gaps - Preventing costly H&S failures in your business
For UK businesses, health and safety isn’t optional, it’s a legal responsibility. Despite that, many well-run small businesses operate with serious compliance gaps that only come to light after an incident, inspection or claim.
When that happens, the consequences can be severe; substantial fines, director liability, lost productivity, compensation claims, reputational damage and, in some cases, long-term business disruption or closure. For smaller organisations in particular, recovery is not always guaranteed.
This practical webinar on 26 March at 2pm from WorkNest will help you understand where risk typically hides, what the law expects from businesses in 2026, and the steps you should be taking now to protect your people and your organisation.
