Leaders and employees alike tend to be good at being busy, "but that doesn't necessarily deliver value", a leadership specialist says. Meanwhile, feedback is open on the next phase of the FWC's project to draft a modern award WFH term.
Shift notifications and emergencies are specifically catered for in the Fair Work Commission's draft 'right to disconnect' clause, but detailed guidance won't be provided until after the new right is in place.
