Welcome back to The HR Cartel Podcast, and welcome to 2025, the most compliance-heavy, regulator-driven era we’ve ever seen for small and medium-sized businesses in Australia.
In this episode, we're busting some of the biggest small business myths that are holding owners and leaders back, including some that could cost you big money, land you in legal trouble, or even shut you down.
Think small businesses don’t need HR systems? Think again. Believe employees care as much as you do? They don’t, and that’s okay. Assume you won’t get sued? Small businesses are being taken to court every single day.
With 26+ employment law changes, wage theft laws now criminal, and Fair Work actively targeting businesses, it’s more important than ever to ditch outdated beliefs and get real about compliance.
I’ll also explain why small businesses are actually better at innovation than corporates, why you can’t do it all yourself, and how to avoid being the next target of regulators, unions, or the Fair Work Ombudsman.
Listen in now, and let’s get your business ready for 2025.
