Our examination of employment relations focuses on the institutions, processes and economic and social contexts that influence the relationships between workers and businesses, and the consequent outcomes.
Many of the key contemporary policy challenges in Australia and across the world are directly connected to employment relations. For instance, COVID-19 has created significant disruptions in the economy and workplaces, which has prompted governments, businesses and unions to adopt measures aimed at preventing business closures and job losses.
