HR News Room – March 2026

Here’s What’s Inside the March Edition of the Haus of HR News Room

Hello and welcome to our March edition of the Haus of HR News Room.

As we head into spring, sickness absence is creeping up for many SMEs and it can quickly impact performance, morale and fairness if it isn’t handled consistently. With day-one SSP and other proposed changes
expected from April, now is a good time to tighten up your approach.

This month we’re focusing on managing sickness absence – practical steps to spot patterns early, support people well and take action confidently when needed.

You’ll also find an HR legal update on what’s coming from April 2026, a blog hotspot for My Whole Self Day, and our Question of the Month covering whether employers need to actively remind employees to take
annual leave.

We’re also marking International Women’s Day, sharing a quick update on Breathe Health & Safety, and of course, CHO Buddy is back for the International Day of Happiness.

As always, if you’d like help applying any of this to your business, we’re here.
