Hi, this is Natasha Hawker, your host of our rebranded Employees Matter podcast.You might wonder why we changed our podcast name from HR Heroes to Employees Matter. Well, it has long been our belief that your employees are your greatest asset and also, potentially, your greatest liability and should be treated as such. That is why our company is called Employee Matters and one of our values is Employees Matter.With COVID there is a significant shift happening in our workplaces and it is our view that those businesses that are able to build and maintain Employee Assets will outperform their competitors every time.So welcome to Series 2, where we explore the five key themes of our New COVID World of Work:1. Jobkeeper 2. Restructuring, redundancy and Unfair Dismissal 3. Population Decentralisation 4. Individual Contracts/Variations to Contracts / Employee demands 5. Mental Health and Domestic Violence

I’m Natasha Hawker and remember your employees really do matter.
