Great news, you’re already on the right track in terms of compliance!
You’re not quite on the right track. Not to worry though, there is always room for improvement!
Australian employment contract templates
It is considered best practice to review Australian employment contract templates (fixed term, permanent, casual) at least once every 12 months, so well done!
Modern Awards & Enterprise Agreements
It is incredibly important to ensure that your organisation follows (at least) minimum legal or Modern Award entitlements, to avoid underpayment or other non-compliance.
Policies & procedures / employee handbook(s)
Not having a clear process for resolving workplace conflicts or grievances can lead to decreased productivity and work quality, higher employee turnover and absenteeism, lower workplace morale, increased stress and health risks and potential legal expenses because of unresolved workplace issues which can be costly.
Performance Management
Having a formal management process is crucial for organizations as it enables them to develop employees to their full potential, preparing them for the next steps in their careers. Additionally, formal processes allow organizations to determine if employees fulfill their job descriptions, ensuring accountability. They also help identify performance issues promptly, allowing proactive steps to address them. A structured management process systematically identifies training and development needs, ensuring employees have the necessary skills to excel in their roles.
This is good news as the benefits of having an employee training and development program are powerful as it increases employee performance, allows to align the workforce with organisational goals, boosts motivation and engagement, fosters innovation and creates a stronger company brand.
Training managers to acquire the knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage their team improves performance, increases engagement and morale within their team.
Employee engagement
It is valuable for employers to provide a platform where employees can share their feedback. Subsequently, initiatives can be put in place to uplift or retain (high) employee engagement levels. A possible way of doing this is by conducting employee surveys.
That’s great! Putting in place initiatives after conducting employee surveys can help retain or uplift (high) employee engagement, as employees are likely to feel valued and taken seriously.
Immigration & global mobility
That’s great! It is recommended for organisations to collaborate with a registered migration agent to ensure efficient, complete and successful visa applications.
