I recently reviewed a fascinating set of responses to the above mentioned question. The range of responses was everything from Diversity to Talent to Leadership. The one which resonated the most was from Charles Power, an accredited specialist in workplace relations at Holding Redlich. Charles identified the Fair Work Act, general protections scheme and anti-discrimination laws were the key contributors to the big issues currently faced by employers.
For those of you following my comments, this is exactly the narrative I have been suggesting, and is core to the reason HR Central even exists. To help businesses get the basics and foundations right. This makes sure they are compliant and are not leaving themselves exposed to the many laws and acts by which they are governed.
