The three pillars of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) are a focus for Boards and organisations globally but where does the ‘S’ of ESG fit? In a time of social activism, what does it mean for companies seeking to lead in this pillar? 

Join Sean Selleck and Sara Summerbell as they consider these questions and discuss the risks, controls and strategies for organisations striving towards best practice across the ‘S’, including recent international developments, from diversity and inclusion to employee and community engagement and human rights commitments. 

Recent changes to Australian workplace law are enhancing the protection of employees' personal time. The Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) has introduced an explicit Right to Disconnect, effective on 26 August 2024 (and 26 August 2025 for small businesses). This significant change challenges organisations to reconsider how they manage, engage and empower employees. 

To embed these changes effectively, People + Culture teams must collaborate closely with Legal to establish safeguards that respect employees' personal time while maintaining productivity, agility, and responsiveness.

Earn 1 CPD Point Over Lunch

Join us on Tuesday, 30 April 2024, at midday for a thought provoking 1-hour webcast on the Right to Disconnect and other looming employment law changes.

Sharing advice for how organisation can prepare, our speakers include Law Squared’s Employment + Workplace Relations expert, Andrew Brooks, and Oxfam People + Culture Business Partner, Grace Cue, in conversation with Law Squared’s Amogh Kadhe.

Highlights of the webcast will include:

*  The Right to Disconnect: Understand the drivers of the Right to Disconnect and what this amendment means for resetting expectations and practices to ensure employees have the right to disconnect from work calls, emails and other work related communications outside working hours.
Signals of Change: Recognise the major trends reshaping the Australian workplace (including hybrid work, psychosocial hazards and the Right to Disconnect) and the necessary steps to prepare for and embed lasting workplace change.
*  A Powerful Interface: Identify collaborative strategies for Legal and People + Culture teams to shape workplace strategies, embed change and ensure compliance – all whilst simultaneously adding strategic value as an Employer of Choice.
*  Next Steps: Identify necessary updates to policies, processes and people management practices to align with the new Right to Disconnect.
