Getting people back to the office is challenging even for employers recognised as 'best places to work', according to a CEO who is experimenting with new ways to reconnect employees.
An employee must acknowledge a colleague's "distressful experience" in writing, and refrain from discussing a video of her, as part of consent orders handed down in response to a s-xual harassment application.

A "missing link" in many organisations, regardless of size, is adequate visibility on workforce capability, according to an expert who says the problem is becoming more urgent.
A failed discrimination claimant described as "Australia's unluckiest job applicant" has been ordered to pay an employer $44k in costs, after a commission found his allegations were "unreasonable and capricious".
Redeployment offers do not need to be "identical" but rather "sufficiently comparable" to a redundant role, the Fair Work Commission has ruled in reducing an employee's redundancy payout by 50%.
An HR manager deliberately attempted to avoid paying an employee his correct entitlements by falsely accusing him of poor performance and then sacking him, a tribunal has ruled in fining an employer $104k.
An employee who was threatened by a colleague and asked to accept a transfer was not bullied, the Fair Work Commission has found, ruling these were understandable responses to the employee's own inappropriate behaviour.
One of Australia's 'best places to work' is retaining more of its "best and brightest" talent by providing new opportunities to stretch and grow their skills, according to its chief people officer.
General protections claims are the fastest-growing category of applications in the Fair Work Commission, with reforms now underway to stem the tide. This webinar will discuss important developments in both procedural issues and case law.
