Political elections

HR policy and procedure is heavily influenced by employment law and that is dictated by the Government of the day. Here we provide guidance for HR and employers relating to political elections. Manifesto promises made in general elections, mayoral and local elections or specific referendums, can result in potential changes in employment law which HR professionals need to have in their sights.

General Election 2024

Browse our coverage of each party’s manifesto: Conservatives, Green, Labour, Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru, Reform UK, and SNP.
