Unfair Dismissal under Federal Labor Government
| |
| As outlined in its policy announcement prior to the election, Federal Labor has proposed changes to the unfair dismissal laws. We expect that the new government will commence to enshrine these changes in legislation early next year. However, things are not certain. |

Horses for courses
| |
| We hear a lot about diversity in the Press. What a great country Australia is for embracing all our different cultures and promoting “a fair go”! But diversity at work means a different thing. How good are you at recognising diversity amongst your staff? Do you know what their strengths and abilities are? Can you get the best out of them, thus enabling the business to grow and prosper?
A lot of the work I do for businesses is to provide clarity when their management team has become dysfunctional. Each team player is at odds with the next, the team leader has no idea how to progress, and the business is stagnant.

Achieving the Worklife Balance - It Is More Than Good Time Management.
| |
| The balance between work and family life is gaining more attention in Australia. Various articles are starting to appear and the media has picked it up as an issue to explore.
Unions have adopted the issue as a major campaign point and both employers and governments are responding.
Amongst full-time workers, the number of hours worked each week is being highlighted, particularly when significant numbers are working hours greater than the standard working week, which in Australia is a nominal 36-40 hours per week.
A successful family/work life is dependent on finding the right balance, making the right choices and ensuring that you have the flexibility, systems and support to achieve the goals that you have set. It takes teamwork, perseverance and a lot of effort. |

Hard Work: It Really is Worth it
| |
| In Kevin Sheedy’s book Stand Your Ground his old coach, Tom Hafey wrote the Forward. He explained that Kevin realised that sport could offer him so many opportunities but they would only be realised if he worked not just as hard as anyone else but harder. This need to work harder was because Kevin did not have the same natural skills as most of his team mates and opponents. Thanks to my parents’ hard work me and many like me in Australia and other wealthy countries have been given a opportunity to live a wonderful, happy comfortable life. The downside of this great gift is not experiencing the hard work that went into creating it and therefore potentially not valuing it as much as it should be valued |

How we can learn Master Sales lessons
| |
| Like many people in Australia, my family and employees have been captivated by MasterChef Australia.
What I love about MasterChef is that it can be seen as a metaphor for expressing our talents and being the best we can be. Given my interest in everything to do with sales, personal mastery and performance, I particularly love the parallel I have been able to draw about what it takes to be an elite master chef and an elite sales person and elite sales leader by the observation I have made in MasterChef. |

Are you a gold-plated employer?
| |
| Are you an employer of choice? Do employees seek you out to work for you? What’s your reputation out there in the work place?
The type of question likely to be asked by an interviewee today is, “Why would I want to work for you?” I was sitting on an interview panel the other day and a candidate asked just this question. The unthinkable had been asked! But staff are in a much more commanding position today and you have to be prepared to sell your company to them. Despite the Global Financial Crisis, here in Australia there seems to be plenty of work about. Individuals can be choosy about where they work and for whom. So what is it they are looking for and can you satisfy their demands? |

Women in business
| |
| I was speaking to someone from overseas the other day and he said he never thought he would see the day when Australia elected a female Prime Minister. His perception of Australia was that our culture was very ‘blokey’. So you would think that the appointment of Prime Minister Julia Gillard was the result of great change, an indication of how successful women have become in the workforce. Think again. In the recently published report by the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency it made clear that the number of female key executive managers and board directors in the ASX 200 has hardly changed over the past eight years. In comparison with New Zealand, the UK, Canada, the US and South Africa, Australia has the lowest percentage of women in the most senior positions.
So what exactly is going on?
