📢 Attention all Australian business owners! Are you familiar with the Fair Work Information Statement (FWIS)? It's an important document outlining the rights and entitlements of employees in Australia. Providing the FWIS to your employees is more than just legal compliance – it fosters transparency, trust, and a fair workplace. Make sure to include it in your onboarding process for new employees to avoid penalties and keep your workforce informed. If you fail to do so, you could also be up for big penalties. Read our guide now. https://bit.ly/3BJoMQs

CBA, NAB, Westpac and ANZ seem all set for job losses - there will be no "real banks" left soon! NAB, Commonwealth Bank and ANZ all announced substantial cuts last year with the total number of job losses from the “big four” hitting more than 2000. Westpac recently assured employees that they will offer tailored career transition support to anyone whose position is made redundant. Do you need to consider redundancies? Are you keen to ensure that you manage the process with a human face, offering support to retrenched employees and onsite, on the day, support to all involved in breaking the news too? Ask me about outplacement services for your people to help them feel supported throughout this stressful time and help avoid the risk of losing staff you wish to keep because of survivor syndrome. https://lnkd.in/gbKCSFgC Email me for more information about what outplacement involves, the costs and a free e-book with information about outplacement (what works, its benefits and more) [email protected] #Banks #redundancies #outplacementadelaide #outplacementservices #outplacement #outplacementconsulting #downsizing #redundancy
