Despite "profoundly troubling" evidence about an employee's inappropriate workplace interactions, a Fair Work Commission full bench has declined to overturn a finding that his dismissal was unfair.

An employee's "odd and difficult" behaviours led to personality clashes with supervisors, which in turn aggravated his bipolar disorder and rendered his employer liable for workers' compensation, a commission has ruled.

Although many leaders continue to burn themselves out, a growing number are now recognising the importance of switching off, not just for their organisation and work performance, but also their own wellbeing, a leadership advisor says.

Despite suspecting an employee intended "two extremely inappropriate gestures" as jokes, the Fair Work Commission has ruled they justified his dismissal.

Workers' 'mindset behaviours' influence their risk of psychological strain, and understanding them allows leaders to intervene before issues manifest as burnout, absenteeism or compensation claims, according to a new paper.

Researchers have developed a new metric that they say gives HR leaders a diagnostic lens for job design, employee development, and retention strategies.

An imperfect disciplinary process and differential treatment of an employee didn't undermine an employer's valid reason to sack her for misconduct, but the Fair Work Commission has nonetheless ordered her reinstatement.

An order to reinstate an employee is set to be reconsidered, after his employer successfully argued that important evidence supporting its serious misconduct allegations wasn't just "hearsay".
