Why an IR Assessment

The government has completely changed the IR landscape and swung the pendulum back toward the unions. 

It's critical you understand the risks and opportunities of your current industrial relations landscape and that you have a robust roadmaps to ensure your ahead of the curve. Key Thrust of the changes:

1) Increasing Real Wages: Increasing real wages for people by supporting high wage increases in National Wage Cases and the introduction of Multi-Employer EAs 

2)Secure & Permanent Employment: Increasing secure forms of employment, encouraging a move away from casual independent contractors and labour-hire employees toward permanent employment.

3) Increased Compliance: Increasing compliance requirements and escalating consequences for noncompliance, such as wage fraud.  

4) Increasing role of third parties: Strengthening the powers of the unions to boost union membership, which in the private sector sits at 9 percent and continuing to drop & increasing the interventionist powers of the Fair Work Commission.
