Future of Work – New challenges, new norms

Olga Klimczak, Natalie Gaspar and Shiv Jhinku take the wheel to explore HSF’s latest Future of Work report. They unpack the key ESG related findings including cost of living, pay and benefit inequalities as a potential trigger for activism, as well as a significant rise in demand for workplace health and wellbeing support. With Australia on the cusp of profound legislative change, and a raft of new sustainability reporting standards increasing business scrutiny, we discuss the new opportunities this provides to proactively and meaningfully engage with employees, particularly in light of Generation Z’s entrance into the workforce.

For more, check out our report: Future of Work 2023.

Each episode, Partners Timothy Stutt and Melanie Debenham are joined by an expert third wheel guest to explore the issues from their unique perspectives.

Mel is an expert on business-critical environment, planning, heritage and native title regulation in Australia. Tim specialises in ESG from a corporate governance perspective, including market disclosure, risk management and shareholder engagement/activism.

We wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands Mel and Tim are recording from, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation in Perth and the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation in Sydney. We wish to acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this country.

UPDATE: If you are interested in this topic, please join our webinar on Tuesday 20 February 2024, during which our global employment team will assess the application of AI and Automation tools in businesses across the globe. We will analyse how legal obligations differ according to jurisdiction and, in some cases, restrict an employers’ ability to implement technology within the workplace.

This interactive webinar will equip you and/or your team with the knowledge needed to uphold legal compliance when adopting AI and automation across all countries in which your business operates, answering your live questions and offering tangible next steps.
