Workplace Review: A Journal for All Seasons

/
Content updates

Workplace Review always strives to present a multi-dimensional picture of work. There is, of course, a primary focus on coverage and analysis of news and developments in IR and employment/labour law, but the diversity of working life and its human aspects are never neglected. The current issue, Vol 10 No 3, holds true to this purpose.  

From Ian Latham’s examination of accessorial liability under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) through the prism of wage underpayment matters, via Alan Sexton’s look at the pandemic’s impact on health care workers in public hospitals – challenges faced, adaptations made, to Rick Burbidge QC’s practical tips for lawyers as to how to conduct effective cross-examinations.

With decades of employment law practice behind him, Neil Napper, in the featured interview, gives his insights into the long-term changes in employment law and industrial relations and issues arising, and makes suggestions for possible improvements. Neil also provides many anecdotes from his litigation experience and wise advice for young practitioners – including to “have fun!”. Similarly, Philippe Doyle Gray draws on his many years in legal practice to suggest that paying heed to enhancing personal relationships is key to developing co-operative workplace relations.

Finally, from an organisational behaviour perspective, David Nikolas Brodsky eruditely explores how knowledge is generated and managed at the institutional level and asks whether things could be done better in the future?  

There is much else besides in the current issue of Workplace Review, providing both food for thought and diversion.
