It's going to be a challenging and yet exciting time for business in 2009. With the daily news focussing on doom and gloom, it is time to step up and discover just what we can do to get the best from ourselves and our staff.


“If we treat people as they are, we make them worse, but if we treat them as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1747 -1832

Let's treat ourselves and our staff to the wealth of knowledge that is out in the business community to help us through 2009.

Fair Work legislation


Preparation for Fair Work legislation


In the coming weeks I will be keeping you updated on the changes to IR legislation. Some of the changes came into affect on the 1st July 2009, while there will be further changes commencing on the 1st January 2010

Unions can now come to the workplace having provided 24 hours notice, if the organisation employs eligible members.

The new National Employment Standards (NES) effective from the 1st January 2010, will allow for Annual and Personal/Carer’s Leave to be cashed out. Employment contracts and Company policies should reflect this change.

Requests for flexible working arrangements and extensions to unpaid parental leave needs to be heeded and covered in contracts and policies effective from the 1st January 2010.
