A global marketing company is shaking up its recruitment process by simply asking prospective candidates to express in one word what they want to 'be'.

An employer had a valid reason to sack a worker whose repeated inappropriate and unprofessional behaviour made the employment relationship untenable, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.

Grounding values in empathy and normalising taking a break has transformed an employer's approach to communication and mental health, its people leader says.

HR has become a "dumping ground" for many organisations' legal and regulatory tasks, with burnout an increasingly likely outcome, a risk specialist says.

An employee who refused 32 redeployment options didn't realise his employment was at risk until it was too late, the Fair Work Commission has accepted in allowing his unfair dismissal claim to proceed.

Peer-based performance feedback is not only more accurate but also far more engaging for employees to receive, says globally renowned leadership specialist Simon Sinek.

An employee removed from a client site due to complaints about "gossiping" could have received better treatment but ultimately wasn't unfairly dismissed, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.

The Federal Court has found an employer threatened employees with repatriation to "intimidate them into silence", knowing they would put up with below-award rates and conditions.
