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.

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.
