The UK employment law landscape is shifting fast. From flexible working rights to new carer's leave legislation, statutory sick pay clarity, and growing demands around menopause policy, SMEs are facing more pressure than ever to stay both compliant and competitive.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s changing, what it means for your business, and how you can respond with confidence—with the support of MiM PxP.
1. Day-One Right to Request Flexible Working
Since April 2024, employees can request flexible working from day one of employment. SMEs must now ensure their managers are trained to handle these requests fairly and that policies reflect this shift in worker expectation and law.
2. Carer’s Leave
A new statutory right allows up to five days of unpaid leave annually for employees with caring responsibilities. You’ll need a formal process in place, especially if you’re managing smaller teams where absence impacts are more noticeable.
3. Enhanced Redundancy Protection
Employees who are pregnant or on (or recently returned from) maternity, adoption, or shared parental leave now have extended redundancy protection. For SMEs, this means added rigour is needed when managing restructures or role changes.
4. Predictable Working Patterns
Workers in casual or zero-hour roles will soon be able to request more predictable working hours. Employers will need fair, documented processes in place to handle these requests efficiently.
5. Paternity Leave & Neonatal Care Leave
Paternity leave is now more flexible, and a new neonatal care leave is being introduced—offering up to 12 weeks paid leave for parents of babies in intensive care. This has operational, cultural, and payroll implications.
6. Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) & Absence Tracking
SSP currently stands at £116.75 per week (April 2024 rate), but with increased tribunal cases relating to mismanagement of absence, now is the time to implement consistent tracking and return-to-work procedures.
7. Menopause in the Workplace
It’s not yet a standalone legal right, but tribunals are on the rise. SMEs should create a menopause policy, train line managers, and ensure workplace adjustments are available. The legal and reputational risk of ignoring this is rising fast.
This Is a Fast-Changing Space
Employment law and people expectations are evolving rapidly. If your current setup is based on how things used to be, you could be exposed.

Quiet quitting was a phenomenon in 2022, mostly used by Gen Z workers who have helped the term go viral on TikTok. The hashtag #quietquitting has amassed over 17 million views on TikTok. Press articles have shared the term, which spread the noise to other social media outlets like Linkedin.
However, the term has always been around. But it was previously known as ‘jobsworth‘ and ‘working to rule.’ The trend has always been around. However, quiet quitting has different definitions:
However, the trending definition for quiet quitting is employees limiting their tasks to those strictly within their job description to avoid long hours and tired work life. Employers quietly quit by literally doing their job and nothing more – mainly to set clear boundaries to improve work-life balance. They stick to their job description and leave work behind once their shift has finished. But why was quiet quitting trending all of a sudden?
Quiet quitting is a way of dealing with burnout, an organisational behaviour expert told GQ Magazine, which is a major concern for Gen Z. A survey of 30,000 workers by Microsoft showed that 54% of Gen Z workers are considering quitting their job due to burnout. So, it is understandable why the term is so popular with the younger generation.
However, as with anything, there has been criticism of the term. Michael Timmes, Senior Human Resource Specialist, stated that: ‘From an office perspective, quiet quitting can cause conflicts between employees, as some employees will feel others aren’t carrying their weight.’
Kevin O’Leary, an investor, has said that quiet quitting is ‘a really bad idea as people that go beyond to try to solve problems for the organisation, their teams, their managers, their bosses, those are the ones that succeed in life.’
However, some may agree that quiet quitting is a good idea. Kelsey Wat, a career coach, argues that, ‘at the end of the day, quiet quitting is about combatting the long-held belief that the only way to get ahead professionally is to work far beyond your limits and to take on a ‘yes man’ mentality.’
It’s difficult to form an opinion on quiet quitting as it depends on your work environment and, possibly, the generation you were born in.

According to the World Management Survey (WMS), British companies’ management is behind countries like the US, Japan, Germany, Sweden, and Canada on critical metrics. Furthermore, the UK ranks the lowest regarding productivity in the G7, and according to the WMS survey conductors, poor management accounts for more than half of Britain’s productivity gap with America. The research suggests that for Britain to grow faster, it needs better managers.
The research is striking – UK-based companies may miss out on high-performing results and opportunities due to a lack of development in their managers. Many managers in the UK are promoted into their roles on technical ability rather than management skills, which means many are not being trained. A managerial role appears to be lucrative – the pay and perks can be generous, which can drive people to become managers. However, to be a successful manager, there needs to be a desire to build something impactful. Of course, training and development play a substantial part in managerial training. Management styles and training can often be outdated – although emotional intelligence is highly important, it is rarely considered as an essential attribute for managers.
Emotions are synchronised with our brain and body, usually quickly, and occur without conscious thought. Our emotions impact and influence our attention, thoughts, and behaviours. We live in a complex and competitive climate – businesses are trying to succeed with limited resources and greater pressure. Using emotions strategically can improve our capability to work with others, engage in our roles, manage stress, and handle conflict. In a world that is becoming increasingly dissociated, emotional intelligence is crucial. Scientific and business research has proven the immense value of emotional intelligence for anyone whose role involves influencing and engaging people. Emotional intelligence is one of the primary skills that is being forgone in managerial training.
MiM LaaS offers training in all managerial aspects. If managers are not trained in the basics like delegation or have unconscious thinking like ‘it’s easier/quicker to do it myself,’ it will affect their performance and management. MiM’s training is different – we start with mindset and behaviour development blended with skills, methods, and tools to make it more sustainable. Effective and relevant training is essential – good managers improve business productivity, employee retention, culture, and the UK business industry and economy.
