An employer has failed to prove it wasn't liable for an employee's psychological injury, which a commission found didn't just result from a redeployment process but from the strain of supporting affected colleagues through it.
The High Court's important ruling on redeployment obligations makes it even more crucial for HR practitioners to understand how AI might displace roles in their organisation, a conference heard yesterday.
An employer on a mission to become "the healthiest workplace" started by asking its 4,000 employees, "What if work didn't feel like work?", a conference heard this week.
Poorly handled workplace change is the most common psychosocial hazard, and the solution might start with reframing how change is perceived, an expert says.
Ordering an employer to halt its restructuring plan is a "significant development" in the way workplace health and safety regulators approach psychosocial hazards, a lawyer says.
There's a tendency among some employers to "steamroll through" workplace changes without considering the impact on psychosocial safety, an advisor says. This Q&A explains why a more human-centred approach is needed.
The organisations that are successfully managing change in 2025 are those that prioritise building and celebrating adaptability as a core competency, research suggests.
After adopting AI, IBM's HR department has achieved a 55% lift in its approval rating from the business, and a dramatic reduction in admin work is opening up opportunities for its HR practitioners to work in L&D, tech-based and client-facing roles.
