Summary
This month's episode of the Personnel Today HR Podcast, brought to you by Deel, explores what employers need to do when trade unions come knocking, ahead of new statutory access rights later this year. We also examine the rise of agentic AI, and what the newly established Fair Work Agency means for employers.
Every month, we focus on some of the most significant events of the previous weeks and delve into the implications for HR professionals.
Employment law trainer and commentator Darren Newman joins the PT team again to discuss trade union access rights and what HR professionals should be doing to prepare for new measures which are scheduled to come into force in October 2026. How will the new regulations affect organisations that already engage with trade unions? And what about employers that have not had to manage trade union relationships before?
We look at AI agents and "digital twins" and what they mean for the workplace. And we look at the Fair Work Agency and ask whether the new body will be any more powerful than the four enforcement bodies it replaces.
