Employment and leave
Managing people well means being prepared for all types of leave, handling resignations or dismissals smoothly, and creating a fair, supportive workplace. This includes fair pay, flexible work options, and regular performance management to help navigate challenges effectively.
Leave and holidays
Leave comes in many shapes and sizes. Annual leave is usually planned, and public holidays are predictable. But other types of leave can come up, so it’s good to be prepared.
Ending employment
If you have employees, someone is likely to resign, or you may have to manage a dismissal or termination. You can minimise the impact of people leaving by planning for exits and following a good process.
Having a fair workplace
A fair workplace is good for your people and good for business. Understand what you need to know about breaks, flexible working, fair pay, restructuring, policies, and keeping accurate records — so you can meet your obligations and support your team.
Resolving employment challenges
If an employee’s performance falls short of your expectations, you may want to make performance management a regular part of your business. Being prepared will help you navigate the situation if challenges persist.
Workplace culture and upsklling
Creating a positive, supportive workplace not only boosts employee confidence, motivation and wellbeing, but also helps your business stay adaptable and competitive. Investing in staff development and looking after your own mental health leads to better decision-making and long-term success.
Leadership and culture
People do their best work when they feel confident, motivated and trusted. Support your employees by creating a good workplace culture, communicating clearly, and refining your skills as a leader.
Upskilling employees
Upskilling your workers is essential for building a capable and motivated team. It helps your business stay competitive, retain employees, and adapt to change with confidence.
Looking after yourself
As a business owner or manager, you can be so busy looking after your business and your team’s wellbeing that it’s easy to put yourself last. But focusing on your own mental health and wellbeing reduces self-doubt, improves decision-making, and helps keep your business on track.
Looking after your people
The wellbeing of your employees is key to the success of your business. As an employer, you lead the way in making your workplace a positive and sustainable environment.
