Breakfast Briefing: Navigating the new employment landscape for Social Care

Sona invites you to an exclusive breakfast briefing designed for Social Care leaders who want to stay ahead of the most significant employment law changes in a generation.

With the Employment Rights Bill coming into force from 2026, Social Care providers face tougher enforcement, higher compliance standards, and increased financial risk. This session cuts through the noise to explain what the changes really mean, and how leading operators are preparing now.

Over the morning, you’ll gain:

  • A clear breakdown of the Employment Rights Bill changes that matter most for Social Care

  • Practical guidance on what to act on now vs. later

  • Insight into key risk areas, including tribunal exposure, cost pressures, and operational disruption

  • Examples of how best-in-class providers are turning compliance into a competitive advantage

  • Time to network and exchange perspectives with senior peers from across Social Care

Our legal partner from Fieldfisher will walk through the legislation, highlighting the top five changes affecting frontline workforces and answering the questions keeping operators awake at night.

The session will close with a panel discussion featuring legal, product, and operator perspectives.

Time: 9.00AM - 11.00AM

Location: Caravan Covent Garden, 30-35 Drury Ln, London WC2B 5RH

Who should attend:
Leaders within Social Care organisations who want clarity, confidence, and practical direction ahead of the Employment Rights Bill.

Join peers from across the sector to understand what’s coming, what it means for your organisation, and how to prepare before enforcement begins.

Please note spots will be limited to ensure meaningful discussion.

What are the benefits of digital rostering?

There are lots of benefits to using dedicated, cloud-based rostering software, but three of the biggest are:
1 Compliance
(I'll add this)
2 Time efficiency
Rota management is one of the most time-consuming parts of a manager’s week. The right software can automate a lot of the manual roster work and reduce the time it takes to complete the tasks that can’t be automated.
3 Higher quality data
Having reliable digital records of when and where staff worked means a more accurate payroll. But it also lets you access valuable real-time intelligence about your people and operations that can help improve future schedules.
4 A better employee experience
Making rosters available digitally to your staff gives them greater control and flexibility over their working hours and fairer access to overtime. It also makes shift-based communication quicker, easier, and less intrusive when they’re not on shift.

What are the benefits of digital rostering?

Yes. Rostering in Sona accommodates all working patterns, shifts, and role types. So full-time staff with fixed salaries can be scheduled right alongside hourly workers - not just in one location, but across sites, too.
