Tomorrow brings us into 2016, and for the past few days, the internet has been abuzz with talk of the changes that 2016 will bring.

That being said, and without it sounding cliched, or overdone, 2016 is bringing some changes to IR Simplified.

For the past few weeks, the team at IRSimplified.com.au have been busy putting things in place for the launch and re-launch of some new products and services.

Podcast

A number of people have been asking me when and if the IR Simplified Podcast was going to be relaunched.

The good news is that yes it is coming back in 2016.

The format for this year is that an episode will be published twice a week. Tuesday will be a ‘tactical’ episode where particular tips and tactics for simplifying your industrial relations challenges will be discussed. Thursday’s episode will be a ‘topical’ one, featuring a topical discussion on something relevant to the world of industrial relations.

Fingers crossed, the first one should be its way to you by the second week of January.
