Whether you’re employing your first team member or managing a growing workforce, understanding your responsibilities as an employer is critical to reducing risk and strengthening business operations.
In this Ask An Expert session, attendees will gain practical insights into the fundamentals of Industrial Relations (IR), Human Resources (HR), and Employee Relations (ER), with the opportunity to ask questions relevant to your business.
Topics will include:
- HR Basics: How to conduct a full HR audit, identify compliance gaps, and plan improvements across policies, contracts, and procedures.
- Employee Relations Support: How to interpret Awards and Enterprise Agreements, manage underperformance, plan your workforce, and navigate terminations, redundancies, and team dynamics.
- Industrial Relations Advocacy: When and how to engage in Fair Work Commission processes, respond to unfair dismissal claims, and ensure you’re meeting your legal obligations as an employer.
Ideal for small to medium business owners and managers wanting to build confidence in navigating HR and IR issues.
