Reduce risks and costs of employment tribunals
Watch videoNavigating employment tribunal claims in the UK
Employment tribunal claims in the UK are on the rise, creating growing concerns for businesses (GOV.UK). A backlog due to high claim volumes and administrative delays are extending case processing times.
With a UK workforce of 33 million (UK Parliament), it can be estimated that about one in every 390 employees files a claim annually, translating to around 25 claims per year for a company with 10,000 employees. For companies already experiencing above-average claim rates, this number could be significantly higher.
Looking ahead, Labour’s proposed introduction of a day-one right to unfair dismissal claims in 2024 could further increase this volume significantly (Labour Plan). To prepare for these potential changes, businesses must implement effective strategies to manage risks and mitigate financial impacts.
Discover how empower®, our award-winning employee relations case management system, can transform your approach to managing employee relations, reducing the likelihood of employment tribunal claims, cutting associated costs and providing business leaders with a robust strategy to navigate these challenges.
