FREE EMPLOYMENT WORKSHOPS FOR YOUNG WOMEN
· Would you like to know where to access help when you have problems in the
workplace?
· Like to know more about your rights in the workplace?
· Like to learn strategies for negotiating?
· Do you feel confident about bargaining and negotiating your rights and
conditions in the workplace?
If these questions capture your interest, you may be interested in attending
a series of seminars on how to negotiate your workplace agreement.
Under the Employment Relations Act employees are expected to bargain
individually for their rights and conditions in the workplace. This
presumes that employers and employees come to the negotiation process from a
position of equality.
Young women entering the workforce on a casual or part time basis are
particularly vulnerable in this process. Information and skills are
required for the complex process of negotiation within the workplace.
- Gain Confidence in the Employment Process -
To ensure young women employees come to the bargaining process with a good
working knowledge of their employment rights and obligations, the Women's
Enterprise Connection and the Victorian Women's Trust are conducting a
series of workshops throughout April 1999.
The workshops will give young women an overview of their rights under the
current legislation, the types of agreements that can be negotiated, and the
skills and knowledge to confidently negotiate an agreement. The series will
consist of four workshops which will run throughout April. Workshops will
be free and informal.

Employment Seminars for Women
- The New Work Environment -
Reform in industrial relations has shown that organisations and businesses
are now contracting workers and specialists rather than taking on the
conventional relationship between employer and employee. The less permanent
workforce has created a new environment for management, staff and
contractors, making it essential to keep abreast of Industrial Relations
changes, rules and regulations.
A challenge for women in management, as well as independent contractors, is
to have a good working knowledge and understanding of the flexibility and
restrictions of the new work environment, in order to steer through the
rules and regulations. An understanding of workplace flexibility is
imperative for gaining a leading edge.
- Gain Confidence in the Employment Process -
To assist women in business, management and those employed on a contractual
basis, the Women's Employment Advisory Project and Madgwicks Lawyers will be
conducting a series of seminars throughout May 1999.
The seminars will give employers and independent contractors an overview of
the current legislation, the types of workplace agreements and contracts
that can be negotiated, and an understanding of the regulations and
requirements regarding employment. Seminars will be held at Business
Matrix, 288 Brunswick Street Fitzroy For further information contact
Business Matrix on 9 411 4044.
