In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back barrister Ian Neil SC to discuss the “tumultuous” past year in industrial relations reform, the myriad changes that were legislated and are coming into effect, what the response from businesses and employers has been to such change, and whether the net effect of such changes will be to drive up the cost of labour.

Neil also delves into how businesses can and should respond to the “tidal wave” of changes, why good governance has never been more essential, what the Closing Loopholes and Right to Disconnect legislation means and what its impacts might be, what might be the headline industrial relations issues to contend with in the future in light of such changes, why prudent employers will see the changes as an opportunity, what will constitute best practice moving forward, and the likely volume of work headed in the direction of legal practitioners and HR professionals.

    Very interesting interview!  It needs to be borne in mind, too, that the intervew didn't touch on state-based changes.  The Queensland Labour government, for example, has also introduced HR changes in the last 12 months, and that these need to be managed alongside the changes discussed.
