Industrial Relations Reform

The Jobs and Skills Summit aims to build fairer, safer, and more equitable workplaces in Australia. Key takeaways for businesses include potential changes to the Fair Work Act, increased focus on pay equity and casual worker rights, and initiatives to address gender pay gaps and support disadvantaged groups. Businesses should also be proactive in managing sexual harassment risks. While these steps are not yet implemented, they provide valuable insights into the future of work and how businesses can adapt.
