Description

Leave entitlements are building up on business balance sheets. At the same time, some employees feel they don't get enough flexibility around when they can take holidays.

Guests:

Sarah McCann-Bartlett, CEO, Australian Human Resources Institute

Dr Libby Sander, Assistant Professor of Organisational Behaviour, Bond University

Madeleine Dow,  management consultant and Adjunct Professor, Centre for Workplace Excellence, Uni of SA
