Fair Work Agency

Fair Work is here, and it’s reshaping how UK businesses protect their people.

The new Fair Work Agency, that launched in April 2026, brings key employment rights enforcement into one place. Businesses should already have been doing this work long before now, but it’s reassuring to finally have a body that can challenge poor practice properly and set clearer expectations.

Over the next year, Fair Work will continue expanding its remit, strengthening inspections, and setting out what “good compliance” looks like across documentation, wellbeing, holiday pay, safe working conditions, and, from 2027, the National Minimum Wage.

For many SMEs, this is the moment where gaps become obvious. Missing contracts, outdated policies, no wellbeing structure, no risk assessments, no proper onboarding, no clear documentation… these are the things Fair Work will be looking at.

And this is exactly where I come in.

With many years of hands on HR, Health & Safety, wellbeing and compliance experience, I help businesses get and stay Fair Work ready, even if they currently have nothing in place.

I specialise in taking workplaces from “we don’t know where to start” to exceeding Fair Work expectations with clear documentation, structured processes, safe working practices, and modern, people centered foundations.

Whether you’re a small business that’s never had HR or H&S, or you’ve inherited outdated systems that need rebuilding, Starlit People gives you the clarity, structure and confidence you need to meet Fair Work standards with ease.

If you want to get ahead before enforcement ramps up, I’m here to help you build everything properly, calmly, clearly, and without judgement.
