What legislation changes have made the biggest impact in 2025? This week, Leanne sits down with Jonathan Mamaril, Director and Employment Lawyer at South Geldard Lawyers, to unpack the legislative and workplace shifts that set the pace for HR in 2025. From the Right to Disconnect and wage theft reform, to sexual harassment obligations and psychosocial risk requirements, what legislation changes have made the biggest impact in 2025, and what new pressures and obligations are beginning to surface as we move into 2026?

As we navigate a landscape marked by new obligations, heightened scrutiny, and evolving employee expectations, where have the biggest challenges emerged, what leading cases have reshaped how HR teams approach compliance, and what lessons should HR leaders prioritise before the next wave of reforms takes hold?
