On Wednesday 25 August 2021, Russell Kennedy hosted the Workplace Relations Webinar – Workplace relations in 2021: half time report. This webinar was aimed at CEOs/Principals, Executives, GMs, Human Resource / People & Culture professionals.

We have just passed half way through 2021, but it feels like a fair bit has been going on in the world of workplace relations. We thought that it was a good time to talk about two legislative changes and two topics which keep coming up.

  • Changes to casual employment
  • Requiring staff to have vaccinations
  • Mishandled workplace complaints
  • Changes to sexual harassment laws

This webinar was presented by Anthony Massaro, Principal, and Morgan Smithe, Lawyer.

Libby Pallot, Principal and Ben Tallboys, Principal, assisted in answering the Q&A during the live presentation.
