About The Webinar

The webinar will provide a top-down view of HR and compliance, helping attendees clarify their strategic lens, understand their risk profile, and strengthen the link between culture, conduct and regulatory obligations. It will also examine the external landscape, including regulatory change, technology trends, shifting social expectations and economic conditions that are reshaping the way Australian organisations manage people risk.​

Over 45 minutes, including Q&A, participants will be guided through practical ways to review HR systems and touchpoints, assess how compliance processes integrate into day-to-day operations, and create more effective feedback loops with employees and managers. The session will highlight how digital tools, governance models and human-centric design principles can work together to support safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces.​

Key topics and takeaways

Attendees will learn how to:​
- Balance employee experience with legal and ethical conduct at each stage of the employee lifecycle.​
- Map external impacts on their HR and compliance program, from regulation and technology to social and economic pressures.​
- Audit systems and platforms used by employees, identify weak spots in communication, and design better feedback loops.​
- Undertake an internal and external stakeholder review across employees, line managers, HR, executives, shareholders and regulators.​
- Encourage transparency, ethical hiring and proactive reporting, while preventing incidents related to safety, privacy and fair work.​
- Build enabling structures, including digital systems, governance models and policy frameworks that are truly human-centred.​
