Thomson Reuters and Lander & Rogers co-hosted a special breakfast discussion on “The Future of Industrial Relations” held at the Lander & Rogers Sydney office on 22 April 2016.

The keynote speaker was Senator the Hon Michaelia Cash (Minister for Employment and Minister for Women, and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service), whose interview was published in the Summer 2016 issue of the Workplace Review journal (Vol 7 Pt 1). Joining the Senator in a very timely Panel discussion about the future of the workplace were key industry figures Wilhelm Harnisch (CEO, Master Builders Australia) and Russell Zimmerman (Executive Director, Australian Retailers Association).

Chaired by panel mediator Neil Napper of Lander & Rogers, who is a co-General Editor of the journal, topics covered ranged from the areas of reform across Australia’s industrial relations framework; the need to increase women’s participation in the workforce; ensuring the safety of jobs and security of investment in the Australian economy; and what our future workplace might look like, given the influence of start-ups and other creative disruptors revolutionising the workplace model.
