Small Biz Matters: People, Policy, Purpose ~ Episode #253      Broadcast date: 10 Dec 2024 Host: Alexi Boyd, Small Business Advocate & Policy Advisor Guests: Anna Booth, Fair Work Ombudsman It's been a big year for Small Biz Matters: People, Policy, Purpose and we're finishing it off with a bang! This week we welcome Anna Booth, Australia's Fair Work Ombudsman to discuss the changes to industrial relations legislation and what it means for small businesses now and into the future. And importantly, what does it mean for the Fair Work Ombudsman agency itself? Industrial relations and the Fair Work Act have always been a minefield for small businesses but the recent changes are really overwhelming and many have said they will avoid employing anyone as a result. The Respect @ Work legislation, changes to Fair Work Act with Same Job Same Pay (tranche one and tranche two), the Right to Disconnect laws, the introduction of Family and Domestic Violence Leave, Psychosocial hazards and positive duty guidelines... it's not a far-fetched assumption to say it's a little bit confusing at times and downright out of scope for most. There's a lot of speculation in the media (both political and practical) about the impact on small business owners navigating this complex web. Will it mean more owners will shift back to under-the-counter cash in hand wages? With more complexity, will we see more workers vulnerable as small business owners struggle to navigate changes or, is this all a smokescreen and they're handling it just fine. Well, the Fair Work Ombudsman's team is on the front line of these questions from both employers and employees and there to assist both with navigating the complexities. Plus, they've made some pretty snazzy changes to their website in order to make it easier. In the final episode of People Policy Purpose it's a big show, so let's get straight into hearing from this week's expert guest, the Fair Work Ombudsman Anna Booth. PEOPLE – How would you like to see small businesses become more activated in regards to workplace relations? What sort of education and outreach programs do you currently have to engage with that audience? Where have you noticed small businesses have been engaging to find info on Fair Work? POLICY -  industrial relations legislation is complex. How does the fair work ombudsman take such complex legislation and translated into procedures that small businesses can follow? What would be your recommendations to small businesses listening as a good place to start? Who are the best advisors to work with, if a typical small business owner can't afford an HR lawyer on their team? COSBOA launched the PEAK resource for small businesses to navigate IR changes. How does your office interact with support services like this, offered by other agencies? PURPOSE - can you describe the role of the Fair Work Ombudsman? Is it independent and how do you keep your work at arm's length from policy makers? Do you influence their decisions and guide on best practice when it comes to considering the small business community in their deliberations? Anna Booth was appointed to the position of Fair Work Ombudsman for a 5 year term from 1 September 2023. Under the Fair Work Act 2009, Anna is responsible for promoting harmonious, productive, cooperative and compliant workplace relations. She has extensive and diverse experience in industrial relations spanning more than 45 years, working with unions, private, and public sectors. Anna was most recently Director of CoSolve Pty Ltd. She returned to CoSolve in 2020 after serving as a Deputy President of the Fair Work Commission for 8 years. Before her appointment to the Fair Work Commission, Anna combined her CoSolve directorship with non-executive directorships of ME Bank and IFM and was the non-executive chair of Slater & Gordon Ltd. Anna spent much of her early career in the union movement. She was the National Secretary of the Textile, Clothing and Footwear Union of Australia and a Vice President of the Australian Council of Trade Unions. Anna has also been Vice President Corporate Affairs at Sydney Harbour Casino and a lecturer at the Macquarie Graduate School of Management and the Australian Institute of Management. She has served on the boards of Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games and NRMA Ltd. Anna is an accredited mediator under the National Mediator Accreditation System.

Recent allegations of workplace bullying in parliamentary offices are a stark reminder that, in high-pressure professional environments, “bullying cannot be normalised or excused, and the wellbeing of staff must remain a priority”, says one senior human rights and discrimination lawyer. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Elevate Consulting Partners founder Prabha Nandagopal, who was the senior legal adviser to the Respect@Work inquiry, about the extent to which new positive duties to stamp out workplace misconduct such as bullying and sexual harassment have been adopted by Australian workplaces, the lack of education that businesses may have about those duties, and how new workplace norms such as scattered workforces and communication via new technologies has seen a proliferation in misconduct via new mediums. Nandagopal also reflects on the fact that a lack of reporting doesn't mean that misconduct isn't occurring, the questions that businesses must ask of themselves in ensuring their frameworks are up to scratch, the need for top-down approaches from leadership, the thematic issues with power in the workplace, having good response plans, and why businesses cannot be complacent about their positive duties.

Small Biz Matters: People, Policy, Purpose ~ Episode #222 Broadcast date: 13th February 2024 Host: Alexi Boyd, Small Business Advocate & Policy Advisor Guest: Natasha Hawker, Managing Director Employee Matters It is all the politicians and business leaders are talking about right now: the new Industrial Relations Reforms passed by Parliament recently after months and months of negotiations. The business groups representing small businesses aren't happy, the industry associations having been campaigning for months, and small businesses themselves and once again, lost.

POLICY - Can you walk us through the main changes which have recently been legislated recently and when and how small businesses can expect this to take effect in their business? Respect@Work, People at Work (psychosocial hazards) D&FV Leave and the process, Pay secrecy PURPOSE - Why in your opinion has the Government felt these changes to workplace laws are necessary?

Following the 2018 Boland Review into the model Work Health and Safety provisions, workplace psychosocial safety has squarely been on the policy agenda.  Combined with recent changes as a result of the Respect@Work Report, the clear policy position, and expectation of society, is one of employers taking responsibility and being accountable for having workplaces that are both physically and psychologically safe.  In South Australia, its version of amendments to the Work Health and Safety regulations to deal with psychosocial safety commence on 25 December 2023, following similar legislative reform around Australia in each of the jurisdictions with the model Work Health and Safety laws.  Victoria is currently considering similar, though potentially more far-reaching, provisions.   In this episode of the Podcast, Emily Haar and Emily Slaytor discuss what it means to have a workplace that is psychosocially safe, including what psychosocial hazards are, how to spot them and manage them, and what organisations need to do to both be compliant, but to also prove compliance in the event that a regulator takes interest.  Directors and senior executives in particular need to think about how they will ensure appropriate “due diligence” to comply with their duties as officers under work health and safety law.  Some resources you may be interested in to explore this further include: 2018 Boland Review: https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/law-and-regulation/model-whs-laws/review-model-whs-laws Respect@Work: https://www.respectatwork.gov.au/ The Safe Work Australia Model Code of Practice:  https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/doc/model-code-practice-managing-psychosocial-hazards-work The US Surgeon-General's Framework for Workplace Mental Health and Wellbeing: https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/workplace-mental-health-well-being.pdf Curtin University and the University of Sydney, ‘How work design shapes mental health in the Healthcare and Social Assistance industry,' July 2023, https://8bd0f060-89c2-4f20-bced-abb2e8c5789f.usrfiles.com/ugd/4faa3e_a32fcac432d14fbaac489ab570648843.pdf

The positive duty to eliminate sexual harassment in the workplace became law last December, and the one-year grace period employers were given to comply is about to expire. Here, we dive into the work employers must do to ensure compliance with the new duty. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by byrne∙dean head of strategy Samantha Mangwana to discuss the significance of last year's Respect@Work reforms, the positive duty to report and eliminate unlawful conduct, how that new duty can be applied in post-pandemic working environments, and penalties or enforcement actions that regulators can take. Ms Mangwana also reflects on the seven standards for organisations to comply with, the headline structural and cultural challenges for legal employers to navigate, the actions that those employers must immediately take, and her level  of optimism that legal workplaces can and will be able to make progress moving forward.

When Liberal MP Julia Banks quit the Morrison government in 2018, her resignation was cited as an example of how hostile the political environment can be towards women. But Banks' story and her resignation happened to coincide with a landmark report: Respect@Work. That report, and the changes it recommended, languished on the desk of the former government. But reform is now finally coming into effect and, in theory, should change the workplace for women. Today, former politician Julia Banks, on the report she watched be pushed aside, and her hope that this year it's finally going to change our workplaces for the better.

At least one in three Australians have been sexually harassed at work within the past five years. There are growing calls to address sexual harassment in the workplace and to implement more preventative measures. Two years after the handing down of Australian Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins's 2020 national inquiry, only part of the Respect@Work report's recommendations have been implemented.   - पिछले पांच वर्षों में तीन में से कम से कम एक ऑस्ट्रेलियाई का कार्यस्थल पर यौन उत्पीड़न किया गया है। कार्यस्थल में यौन उत्पीड़न को दूर करने और अधिक निवारक उपायों को लागू करने के लिए आव्हान बढ़ रहे हैं।ऑस्ट्रेलियाई सेक्स भेदभाव आयुक्त केट जेनकिंस की 2020 की राष्ट्रीय जांच सौंपे जाने के दो साल बाद, रिपोर्ट की सिफारिशों का केवल एक हिस्सा लागू किया गया है।

Van Badham and Ben Davison analyse the final day of Grace Tame's tenure as Australian of the Year, that handshake, that look, that photo, Morrison's failures on policy issues, Morrison entrenchment of unsafe cultural attitudes, the conservative response to Tame doing her duty and what it tells us about the state of politics and the status of women in Australia. Van and Ben also remind people they can get active to support better safety for women at work, and in society, through their union at australianunions.org.au/wow with the We Won't Wait campaign and the demands to implement all the recommendations of the Respect@Work report. COVID deaths in Australia are spiking with daily deaths per million currently higher in Australia than in Brazil. With Morrison prioritising making RAT importer millionaires over providing RATS to NDIS participants and aged care residents Van and Ben look at how people in those sectors are struggling as well as how the Ministers are, not only failing, but hiding out at the cricket! The union movement is holding webinars TOMORROW (Thursday 27th) on your workplace safety rights, hosted by Australian Unions leaders Sally McManus and Liam O'Brien, the webinars are a must for any worker who is concerned about COVID exposure at work, the shortage of RATS and what the rules are about not having to work in an unsafe environment.  The Australian Unions webpage and twitter has all the details. Dylan Alcott is the Australian of the Year for 2022! His first acts were to call for more support for the NDIS, free RATS, a shift in mindset and to take a very cheerful selfie with Grace Tame. Today is the Australia Day public holiday but the desire for a national day that all Australian's can celebrate is gaining momentum.  Van and Ben discuss some of the issues surrounding today, cameo some remarkable social shifts that commemorated Survival Day and suggest people check out Thomas Mayor's article on this topic in the SMH and Age.

Dunn Street founder Stephen Donnelly was joined by federal member for Griffith, Shadow Minister for the Environment and Water, and former Student Unity alum, Terri Butler.In the spirit of the Marshall Ganz teachings of Public Narrative and Story of Self, Terri discusses her journey from a kid growing up in FNQ to student activist (one for the stu-pol folks circa 1997), to lawyer and then public office.  As it is Socially Democratic's “Women in Politics” month, Terri discusses the landmark Respect@Work report and the Morrison Government's missed opportunity to address workplace sexual harassment, she ask's what it takes to get punted from the Ministry (because clearly anonymous payments for a Minister's legal fees is ok) and unpacks the cost of tearing up an over-budget French submarine contract to replace it with a more expensive UK/US one.The presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.

Van Badham and Ben Davison examine how Scott Morrison's decision to fly to Sydney for father's day weekend, at tax payer expense across two closed borders, was compounded by the sleight of hand photo used on his social media and speaks to his continued poor judgement in the wake of his trip to Hawaii, the family pub crawl around Cornwall and his decision to deal with the politics, rather than the substance, of his party's "women problem". The Women's Summit, Morrison's attempt to make the rolling scandals and systemic mistreatment of women in Australia under his leadership go away, has been slammed by Grace Tame, Brittany Higgins, Victorian and Queensland Ministers as well as groups advocating for women fleeing domestic violence.  Brittany Higgins wasn't an invited delegate, even though in many ways she was the catalyst for the summit, and the Australian Union movement was invited at all.  Van looks at how this summit continues the Morrison approach of dealing with the politics rather than the problem, the sense of disappointment that comes from Morrison's refusal to impliment all 55 recommendations of the Respect@Work report and the baffling new human rights commissioner appointment that was announced, while the summit was on, who grace Tame described as "a grave mistake." COVID continues to ravage Australia with more deaths than at any point in the pandemic except when it got loose in commonwealth regulated aged care.  Australian Unions have joined the push to increase vaccination rates with a new campaign as the rate of full vaccinated Australians still sits just over 30%. The good news is the trial of electric scooters in Ballarat and a zero emissions Premier League game between Tottenham and Chelsea happening this month!

There's light at the end of the Covid tunnel for two states this week, but another has lost control as the PM scrounges for more Pfizer doses. The Government has passed recommendations from the Respect@Work report, but nowhere near as many as promised. And human rights abuses are exposed in Tasmanian prisons, while Queensland calls time on single use plastic. Overseas, devastation caused by Hurricane Ida in the U.S. has led to a strong statement on climate from President Biden. Plus gender identity is in the headlines, with safeguarding claims about a gender clinic in the U.K, while China cracks down on "effeminate" male celebrities. And the Paralympics have come to a close, with Australian Paralympians securing pay equity after public outcry. If only the disability equality campaign launched off the back of the Games had checked their own house first...

Addressing the issue of preventing employees from being sexually harassed in the workplace is an area of concern for many organisations. Although COVID-19 has much of our focus elsewhere, topics such as these that impact mental health continue unabated. The Australian Human Rights Commission conducted a national inquiry into sexual harassment in Australian workplaces. Their focus is on achieving respect for all employees with one-third of employees reporting in the past five years that they experience sexual harassment at work. For this podcast, we delve into the Respect@Work report to look at the current context in which sexual harassment occurs, what is currently understood, what it means for your business and primary prevention strategies that we can use.

While the rise of #MeToo movement has certainly shone a light on the prevalence of workplace sexual harassment, the legalities around victims' rights and resources for assistance are still somewhat confusing to navigate. On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Naomi Neilson is joined by Samantha Mangwana, practice leader and special counsel at Shine Lawyers, to discuss the findings and recommendations around the Respect@Work national inquiry into sexual harassment in Australian workplaces. Samantha provides her insight into the kinds of damages that victims stand to receive, the complex nature of non-disclosure agreements, and whether the Australian Human Rights Commissions' recommendations will be enough to bring about actual change.
