Regulating the NFP and Charities Workplace: Navigating Change – a Power Pair of recorded programs

This Power Pair comprises 2 of recorded sessions from earlier this year.  Each recorded webinar is around one hour in length.

Program 1: The Workplace Reforms are Here: What the Landscape Holds for Charities and NFPs

As expected, the Federal Government is pursuing its workplace reform agenda, seeking to provide greater certainty and security for employees and tightening obligations on employers. This session will provide a guide to some of the most significant changes that will impact the charities and NFP sector and will highlight what organisations should be doing now, including:

• Limitations on fixed term contracts – what these reforms mean for the sector
• Unpacking changes to the rights of casual staff
• Flexible working arrangements and the ability to request them
• Paid parental leave and domestic violence leave entitlements
• The right to disconnect – what will this mean in practice?
• Compliance checklists – what should organisations be doing now to prepare?

Program 2: Taking a Risk Management Approach to Mental Health in the Workplace

Mental health issues not only impact the individual, but also their workplace, particularly where there is a claim that the mental health is a workplace injury. With a tripling of mental health compensation claims in the last 20 years, the challenge is for organisations to take a proactive and risk -based approach to minimising psycho-social hazards. It can be difficult to know where to start - particularly for smaller organisations working at the coalface in an under-funded sector. This session will examine the key issues, including:

• An analysis of the duty of care of employers and Codes of Practice
• The regulator’s guidelines on mental health management in the workplace
• The treatment of mental health at the recruitment stage - what can employer’s ask?
• Establishing and implementing policies, procedure and training
• Disability discrimination and the treatment of employees with a mental health condition
• How are “reasonable adjustments” assessed in the mental health space?
• Strategies for identifying and managing some of the perceived mental health triggers such as working hours, bullying, changed work conditions and rosters, public abuse, financial and personal stress
