The federal government’s move to enshrine an employee’s ‘right to disconnect’ in workplace laws continues to attract scrutiny. Australian Human Resources Institute CEO Sarah McCann-Bartlett says these provisions of the Closing Loopholes Bill No. 2 have increased employers’ concerns about the pace and extent of the government’s workplace reforms. Research undertaken by the AHRI in October found that 40 per cent of respondents’ organisations already have a ‘right to disconnect’ policy, while nearly 90 per cent said the policy is successful.
