Welcome to The Work Couch podcast, law firm RPC's brand new sparkly podcast, where we discuss all things employment.
Brought to you by the award-winning employment team at RPC, we'll be discussing the whole spectrum of employment law, with the emphasis firmly on people. Every other week, we'll be exploring those thorny HR issues that People teams and in-house counsel are facing right now and discuss the practical ways to tackle them.
Hosted by Ellie Gelder, senior editor in the employment, equality and engagement team at RPC, we'll explore the constantly evolving - and consistently challenging - world of employment law and all the curve balls that it brings to businesses today.
Not only will we be tapping into the expertise of our fabulous employment lawyers, we'll also from time to time hear from individuals about their lived experiences of the particular issue in question, from both employer and employee perspectives.
This is not just any employment law podcast. It's informal; we want to discuss topics in an accessible and engaging way so that you can digest it easily and come away feeling confident and motivated to address your people challenges.

Welcome to The Work Couch, the podcast where we discuss all things employment.
In our second live episode, recorded before a special audience of RPC clients, host Ellie Gelder
is joined by three leading voices in employment law to dissect - and make sense of - the transformational and ground-breaking Employment Rights Bill. The panel comprised:
The panellists each share their insights into the practical implications of many of the key reforms introduced by the Bill, including: "day one" rights to protection from unfair dismissal; restrictions on fire and re-hire; trade union-related reforms; changes to collective redundancy; bereavement leave and the strengthened duty to prevent sexual harassment.
They also provide their key watch-outs and tips for employers and business leaders, as they look to navigate the evolving employment law landscape.
Please note: This episode was recorded on 30 September 2025 in front of a live audience at RPC's London offices as part of the Employment, Engagement and Equality team's panel event exploring the Employment Rights Bill.
