With burnout and overwork a problem for staff and employers alike, a proposal to add an extra week to annual leave balances for Australian workers is on the table.
We speak with a business that already offers five weeks of annual leave per year, and hear from management and labour law experts on whether this add on is the answer, or if there's a better solution.
Guests:
Shae McCrystal, Professor of Labour Law, The University of Sydney Law School
Carol Kulik, Bradley Distinguished Professor, Centre for Workplace Excellence, Adelaide University
Greg Day, Co-worker Experience Manager, IKEA
