Hello and welcome to Episode 197 of the People Powered Business Podcast! Quick question - did you get into business for the love of HR compliance or to spend your December carefully watching the Government every move to see if they were about to throw some curve balls, or even bomb shells on businesses? No? Guess what – neither did I! The reality is we are in an environment of change right now – which isn’t always a bad thing, but really Industrial Relations legislation changes in December? This last raft of changes seems to have caused more angst, stress and response than any of the previous ones, but why? Are they really just closing loopholes is this cause for panic? In today’s episode we discuss what exactly happened on the last sitting day in Parliament, what has actually passed and is now law, and what is on the cards for the 2024 phase 2 discussions.
