Here’s What’s Inside the December Edition of the Haus of HR News Room
The December edition of the Haus of HR News Room is now live, bringing you the latest insights, guidance and people-focused support to help your business close the year with clarity and confidence.
What’s inside this month’s update:
This month, we explore one of the most significant topics facing UK employers today: the rise of AI in the workplace. With tools like ChatGPT now widely used across teams, we outline why clear policies, safeguards and training are essential as we move into 2026.
We also help you get ahead with performance planning through our free employer guide to appraisals. Designed to simplify review conversations and strengthen development frameworks, the guide offers practical tools to support meaningful, consistent performance discussions in the new year.
In addition, we share an important milestone for our own brand. Haus of HR is now officially a registered trademark, reflecting our continued growth and long-term commitment to delivering trusted HR expertise for SMEs across the UK.
We’ve also got an update on the Government’s proposed Employment Rights Bill, which signals wide-ranging changes to the workplace landscape. The Bill includes potential day-one rights, stronger protections for flexible workers, enhanced sick pay and parental leave and greater expectations around workplace conduct. We break down what these proposals mean in practice and how employers can begin preparing for a more transparent, employee-focused future.
This month’s issue also covers key regulatory updates, including the Government’s plan to introduce digital IDs for right to work checks and what employers will need to prepare for in the years ahead.
For businesses looking to streamline processes before the new holiday year begins, we highlight how Breathe HR can transform annual leave administration. We are also offering a one-month free trial to help employers explore the benefits of digital leave management.
Finally, our Chief Happiness Officer, Buddy, returns with his winter wellbeing advice. His latest column focuses on small acts of kindness and connection to support employees through the colder, darker months of the year.
If you would like to discuss any of the topics featured in this month’s edition or need support implementing changes within your organisation, the Haus of HR team is here to help.
