More people working as cost-of-living pressures mount
The number of Aussies in full-time employment has seen a significant rise in recent months, highlighting just how much pressure the cost-of-living crisis is having on people.
Australian employers are expanding their leave policies to attract and retain talent in a competitive job market. ASPL’s CEO Kris Grant with HRLeader suggests implementing diverse leave options to cater to a wider workforce and provide flexibility.
