Description

Almost half of Australian workers are impacted by some kind of post-employment restraint. 

The government plans to ban non-compete clauses for middle and lower paid workers. But how do you strike the balance between an employee’s right to move jobs and a business’ right to protect their commercial interests? 

Guests:

Paula McDonald, Professor of Work and Organisation, QUT Centre for Decent Work and Industry 

Charles Cameron, CEO Recruitment Consulting and Staffing Association of Australia and New Zealand (RCSA)
