In Conversation: Moving employment and labour issues up the strategic agenda

With an increasing focus on employees, the workforce and workplace, both by governments and in the market more broadly, employment-related issues are—or should be—at the top of the strategic agenda for organisations operating in consumer markets. In this episode of ‘In Conversation’, Corporate partner Maija Kerry talks to Employment & Labour partner Alexandra (Ali) Shields about the key employment issues relevant to consumer brands:

• Wage compliance and wage theft
• The casual workforce, including changes to the laws impacting the largely casual workforces of many retail and consumer facing businesses
• The importance of supporting a positive workplace culture, including the likely impact of the Respect@Work Bill
