• Workplace Health and Safety Act 2011

  Nationally uniform laws ensure all workers in Australia have the same standard of health and safety protection, regardless of the work they do or where they work.

  The laws replace existing work health and safety legislation in all states, territories and the Commonwealth from 1 January 2012. Nationally uniform work health and safety laws means greater certainty for employers (particularly those operating across state borders) and, over time, reduced compliance costs for business.

  More consultation between employers, workers, and their representatives, along with clearer responsibilities will make workplaces safer for everyone.

  

• Time Management

  How often do you find yourself running out of time? Weekly, daily, hourly? For many, it seems that there's just never enough time in the day to get everything done.

  When you know how to manage your time you gain control. Rather than busily working here, there, and everywhere (and not getting much done anywhere), effective time management helps you to choose what to work on and when. This is essential if you're to achieve anything of any real worth.

  

• Team Work

  Performing in teams is a reality that just about all of us face, whether we work in large organizations or small, public or private, for-profit or not. In fact, unless you run your own small busines you can expect to be a member of several work teams. And working in teams means finding a way of dealing with all sorts of personalities and making the best of the situation to help the team perform at the highest level.
