Workplace Relations
Overview
Workplace practices in Australia have changed dramatically over the last decade and will continue to change. The internationalisation of the Australian economy and the decentralisation of the industrial relations system has placed unprecedented responsibility for setting wages and conditions on employers and employees at the workplace level. More than ever before, the success of every enterprise depends on its employee relations performance.
Federal and state workplace relations legislation has undergone substantial reform over the past few years.
With such change occurring, employers are increasingly relying on commercially-focused legal strategies to maximise workforce productivity and reliability, sound workplace relations and to prevent industrial disputes.
Focusing on formulating and implementing appropriate industrial relations strategies means our clients are better positioned to achieve optimal human resource outcomes and minimise disputes. We identify industrial opportunities and threats, and prepare timetables and action plans to supplement the strategy rollout. We also use our extensive experience advising on enterprise bargaining and workplace agreements to help clients meet their commercial and workplace objectives.
