Monash's National Key Centre in Industrial Relations, marking its 10th anniversary this year, will stage a major conference on workplace change in November.
The conference will be the culmination of a number of initiatives examining the impact of changes in the workplace on efficiency, and on managers and staff.
Monitoring Australia's rapidly changing industrial relations environment is one of the major tasks of the centre, which was set up in 1989. It also offers a graduate studies program in industrial and employee relations, undertakes research, and provides advice and support to industry on current issues in industrial and employee relations.
Centre director Professor Gerry Griffin said it had played an important role in all these areas, establishing an international reputation for the quality of its research.
"The centre has influenced policies and practices both at government level and at individual workplaces," Professor Griffin said.
Over the past 10 years, the centre has undertaken research in a wide range of areas, including enterprise bargaining, occupational health and safety, trade unions, non-unionised workplaces, immigrants and enterprise bargaining.
Professor Griffin said it had assisted hundreds of students to complete graduate studies in industrial and employee relations.
"It is essential that industry and the business community generally have a ready supply of practitioners with contemporary knowledge and understanding of key issues," he said.
