In today’s economic climate, HR professionals, managers, and business leaders must balance rising employee expectations for flexibility, wellbeing, and purpose-driven roles with business needs. Missteps in performance management can lead to legal risks, reputational damage, and talent loss, while evolving compliance standards, labour shortages, and social media scrutiny add to the challenge.

You will learn how to:

Mitigate legal risks by ensuring procedural fairness, documentation, and Fair Work compliance

Balance evolving employee needs with business demands, managing burnout, disengagement, and workplace stress while maintaining legal and organisational integrity

Support your line managers and give them the confidence to have the essential ‘clear is kind’ conversations by providing them with the right language and a simple, effective process to reduce legal risks and operational disruption
