Dear Peers and Colleagues,
The Australian Industrial Relations landscape will continue to be highly politicised throughout 2016 as employers manage the complexities of the Fair Work system and pending reform. IR, ER and HR practitioners must ensure they are utilising best practice across the workplace relations spectrum to mitigate risk and maximise opportunity.
This conference will come as the Federal government tables the final report from the Productivity Commission’s review, and will provide a platform for practitioner led discussion and case studies on how to minimise conflict in a dynamic labour market.
VECCI is pleased to support this opportunity for a sector-wide discussion into how to achieve productivity and positive outcomes through efficiently managing your workplace relations.
Yours Sincerely,
Mark Stone, Chief Executive Officer,Victorian Employers’ Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VECCI)
