Hello and welcome to Episode 242 of The People Powered Business Podcast.

Today we’re diving into a fundamental piece of legislation that every small business owner in Australia needs to be aware of: the National Employment Standards, or NES.

If you’ve ever wondered what your minimum obligations are as an employer, or if you want to make sure you’re compliant with Australian employment laws, then today’s episode is for you. We’ll cover what the NES is, what it means for your business, and why it’s critical to understand the rights and entitlements of your employees under this legislation.

We start out by zooming up and taking a big picture look at the NES and where it fits into the industrial relations system, including who these minimum entitlements apply to.

We then take a deep dive into the 12 entitlements.

Finally I share some of the most common misconceptions I hear and share why compliance is so important for your business.

Hello and welcome to Episode 240 of The People Powered Business Podcast.

Today we are continuing the conversation on performance reviews, but shifting to a sightly more practical, and sometimes challenging element of the review process – setting Key Performance Indicators – or KPIs as part of the review.

In this discussion I unpack the synergy between KPIs within Position Descriptions and at review time, and how they are both important.

We then look at the SMART goal setting framework as a great model to create KPIs using. Ensuring KPIs are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound is essential to crafting KPIs that are clear and aligned to the role, the individual and the business objectives.

Finally we discuss the importance of engaging employees in the KPI setting process to give them ownership over their goals and help to engage them in the future direction of their career.
