In my last blog I wrote that the business lobby was unlikely to be impressed by the Government’s reforms of employment law. Then today I came across a report in Xpert HR, the online HR website and journal, stating that 62% of members of the Institute of Directors (IoD) believe that the government has been “ineffective” in its attempts to “simplify” employment law. Coincidentally another survey, this time on behalf of Brook Street was also published, in which only 9% of those polled thought UK employment law was “fit for purpose”.
