The HR Booth

09/10/2026

At The HR Booth, we believe that employers should prioritise mental health in the workplace just as much as physical health. Therefore, is an important campaign to fight today for a brighter tomorrow. 💚

❗Practical Steps Employers Can Take
✅Promote flexible working – Allowing staff to manage their hours or work remotely when possible helps them balance work with personal responsibilities.

✅Encourage regular breaks and time outdoors – Simple reminders or team wellbeing challenges can make a big difference.

✅Lead by example – When leaders take lunch breaks, switch off at reasonable hours, and talk openly about mental health, it sets the tone for everyone else.

✅Offer wellbeing resources – Access to self-help tools, wellbeing apps, or mental health training can empower employees to take charge of their own wellbeing.

✅Review workloads regularly – Ensuring that expectations are realistic helps prevent burnout and improves overall job satisfaction.

⚠️ Employment law change coming on 1 October 2026

From 1 October, the time limit for bringing most Employment Tribunal claims will increase from three months to six months. The new limit will generally apply where the relevant workplace issue happens on or after 1 October 2026.

What does this mean for employers?

📁 Review your HR record keeping – make sure key documents, correspondence and evidence are retained for long enough.

🤝 Keep good records when managing grievances, disputes and settlement discussions.

📝 Make sure managers document conversations and decisions properly.

With employees having longer to bring most claims, good HR processes and accurate record keeping will become even more important.

Is your business ready for the change? Contact our team on 📲01383 668 178 for advice.
