Employees' enthusiasm to get on board with automation and AI-based changes at work hinges on transparent communication by HR about the integration, says a workplace advisory expert.

It wasn't reasonable to transfer an employee accused of s-xual harassment and ban him from speaking to female staff alone, a commission has found in a psychological injury appeal.

Since realising its job ads weren't appealing to female applicants, ANZ's technology division developed a workforce re-entry program that's attracting them in droves.

A worker's belief that managers and HR officers had bullied him was "largely based on speculation and suspicion", not evidence, although some of their actions were "not ideal", the Fair Work Commission has found.

It was "disingenuous" of an employer to claim it didn't dismiss a casual worker, after it removed her from an assignment due to misconduct allegations, then made no attempt to give her further shifts, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.

An employer was entitled to dismiss a worker for her "belligerent and disrespectful behaviour", but it denied her procedural fairness when one person acted as "judge, jury and executioner" during the disciplinary process, the Fair Work Commission has ruled.

The majority of employers use very few ways to evaluate the success of their EVP, but new research identifies 16 "meaningful metrics".

A worker has failed to block a performance improvement plan designed to address her "pattern of disregard" for supervisors, with a commission finding the action "fair and reasonable".

A candidate who willingly gives information about themselves when applying for a job can still have "really fertile grounds for complaints, and for legal response" if they become disaffected down the track, a workplace compliance expert warns.

The friction caused by differing management styles and incompatible personalities in the workplace doesn't constitute bullying, the Fair Work Commission has ruled in stop-bullying proceedings.
