We’ve been working on something behind the scenes…

And today, we can finally share it.

The new Enablement Group website is live!

We wanted to make it easier to understand what we do, how we can help and most importantly, where to start when you need a bit of support.

Whether you’re dealing with a tricky people issue, looking to recruit, wanting to develop your managers and teams, or simply looking for someone to take payroll off your plate, we’ve brought everything together in one place.

We’ve also added more about the businesses we’ve supported and the work we’ve done with them.

Because people and business challenges can get complicated quickly.

Our job is to make them feel a little clearer.

Take a look and let us know what you think 👇

“We have a sexual harassment policy.”

That's a good start. But from 1 October 2026, employers will have a stronger legal duty to take “all reasonable steps” to prevent sexual harassment at work.

So the question moves from:

“Do we have a policy?”

To:

“What are we actually doing to prevent it?”

That could mean looking at:

👉 Workplace culture
👉 Training
👉 Risk assessments
👉 Reporting processes
👉 Manager responsibilities
👉 How concerns are handled
👉 Risks involving customers, clients and other third parties

The law is moving further towards proactive prevention, rather than simply dealing with harassment after it happens. A policy sitting in your employee handbook doesn't prevent sexual harassment. People, processes and culture do.

We've broken down the October 2026 changes and some practical steps employers can take in our latest carousel.

Having a sexual harassment policy isn't the same as preventing sexual harassment.

From 1 October 2026, employers will have a strengthened legal duty to take “all reasonable steps” to prevent sexual harassment of employees.

That means businesses need to think beyond having a policy tucked away in an employee handbook.

Ask yourself:

Do our employees know what behaviour is unacceptable?
Do managers know how to respond to concerns?
Have we identified where the risks are?
Would employees know how to report something?
Are we taking concerns seriously when they're raised?

And importantly, the new legislation also addresses harassment by third parties, such as customers or clients.

The direction of travel is clear: Prevention matters.

With October 2026 fast approaching, now is a good time to review your day to day practices.

Electronic trade union ballots are coming into force. But what does this actually mean for businesses?

From 25 August 2026, electronic and workplace balloting will be permitted for certain statutory trade union ballots.

But what does this mean for employers?

The change doesn't mean businesses need to start organising electronic ballots themselves. Instead, it forms part of a wider package of trade union and employment law reforms, designed to make participation in statutory ballots more accessible.

For employers, it's another reason to make sure your employee relations, communication and HR processes are working effectively.

HR is more than just knowing how to respond when something goes wrong. We want to support businesses in creating a workplace where people feel able to raise concerns in the first place.

Think your managers don’t need training because they already know what they’re doing? 🤔

Myth.

Being a good manager isn’t just about experience. Managers need the right knowledge, tools and guidance to confidently handle the people side of their role. From difficult conversations and performance management to policies, procedures and employment law, managers need to be up to date on their processes to be able to fulfil their role both effectively and with confidence.

Good manager training helps your people leaders:
✔️ Manage with confidence
✔️ Handle situations consistently
✔️ Understand their responsibilities
✔️ Support their teams effectively
✔️ Reduce the risk of costly mistakes

Investing in your managers means investing in the people they manage, and ultimately, your business.

Are your managers equipped with the tools they need to lead well?

If you’re not sure, we're on hand to help.

Electronic trade union ballots are coming, but what does that actually mean for employers?

From 25 August 2026, electronic and workplace voting will be permitted for certain statutory trade union ballots.

For employers, this doesn't mean having to introduce an electronic voting system yourself. It's part of a bigger picture for changes in Trade Unions.

Trade union participation is becoming more accessible, alongside wider changes to trade union rights under the Employment Rights Act 2025.

So what should businesses be thinking about?

👉 How strong are your employee relations?

👉 Do employees have meaningful opportunities to raise concerns?

👉 Are your managers confident handling employee relations issues?

👉 Do you understand how to respond appropriately if trade union activity arises?

Good employee relations shouldn't begin when a problem becomes formal.

Proactive HR means listening to your people before concerns have the opportunity to escalate.

We've broken down the key changes and what employers should be thinking about in our latest carousel.
