Mr Bruce Billson, of Agile Advisory, has undertaken a program to generate ideas and feedback about how the Fair Work Commission can better meet the needs of small business.
Consultation meetings were held across the country to hear candid observations, practical insights and real-life experiences from small business employers and their representatives.
A report of consultation findings and recommendations is available to download:
To participate in small business consultation activities, or to find out more information about opportunities, please email consultation@fwc.gov.au. We also welcome feedback and ideas at any time.
Unfair dismissal user-experience research was conducted by Cube Group throughout 2017 with small business employers and applicants.
