  Participants at this free webinar will find out more about the principles of Fair Work.

  Please note that this session is geared towards private employers, and as such the audience and language will be geared towards private sector and profit-making businesses.  However, the underlying principles of Fair Work are broadly transferrable to the third sector sector.

  is an investment in everyone, for everyone. It can improve productivity, innovation, organisational reputation and recruitment. It can also reduce staff turnover and help create inclusive workplaces with a richness of talent and a diversity of ideas.

  Further information on the principles behind Fair Work can be found at the Fair Work Convention website.

  For staff, Fair Work can increase financial security, physical health and psychological wellbeing. For businesses, it brings more engaged, committed and adaptable workers who spot challenges and opportunities, solve problems, offer insight and ideas for business improvement, and create value.

  What's the event about?

  • Understand the benefits of fair work (for both the business and its staff)
  • Develop an action plan to embed or improve current people practices
