Episode 073: The 10 Adjustments Employers Are Making to Survive the Next 12-24 Months

In this episode of The HR Cartel Podcast, Tim Dive breaks down the real-world moves smart employers are making right now to tackle rising costs, productivity loss, and compliance risks in an increasingly hostile business environment.

With union wish lists becoming law, wage theft risks on the rise, and Fair Work changes biting hard, the next year won’t be easy for small and medium business owners.

So how do you stay afloat—without sacrificing your people or your performance? Tim unpacks the 10 macro, micro, and policy adjustments that employers are using to cut costs, reduce risk, and keep control over their business.

Learn about:

  • Redesigns, restructures, and when to pull the redundancy lever

  • Outsourcing HR, finance, and marketing the smart way

  • The compliance traps of double and triple dipping (and why it could land you in jail)

  • How AI is replacing roles and improving productivity right now

  • Why performance management (done properly) is your best weapon

If you’re an employer who’s ready to stop playing defence and start leading smarter—this episode is for you.

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
