HR Perspective: 2025 Year In Review and the Year Ahead

Our final HR Perspective session for 2025 saw our panel look at the key changes employers should be aware of as they finish out the year and prepare for 2026, including:

• Wage compliance: Everything you need to know about Award Underpayments following the Woolworths decision and how you can take practical steps to avoid significant penalties and contraventions of the wage theft laws.
• Psychosocial risks: How you should proactively address them in your business, and the new approaches taken by safety regulators to enforce compliance with these obligations.
• Employment contracts: How to ensure your contracts take into account significant changes to the Fair Work Act and recent case law.
• Employment litigation: How you can be prepared for new and novel claims and how to best manage them given recent trends including workplace flexibility applications.
