HR hasn’t just been busy this year, it’s complex, high-risk, and constantly changing.

In this episode of Let’s Chat HR & Safety, Danielle McNamee, Founder of ProcessWorx and ProcessWorxAg, is joined by Marisa Ross, Senior HR Consultant, to reflect on the top 10 HR challenges they’ve helped clients navigate over the past 12 months.

Together, they unpack real, recurring issues faced by Australian businesses, including drug and alcohol testing, performance management, grievances, restructures, psychosocial complaints, Award compliance, and the Federal Court decision on flat rates and annualised salaries that has reshaped employer obligations.

They also discuss the major HR changes impacting employers right now, from wage theft and the right to disconnect, to psychosocial WHS duties, flexible work, and the growing use of AI in HR.

This episode is ideal for business owners and managers who want to understand where HR risk is coming from, why issues escalate when left unaddressed, and how early action, documentation, and good advice can prevent costly outcomes.
