#55 The right to disconnect … what does that mean for internal comms?
Feb 22, 2024 Season 1 Episode 55

On this week's episode of the Less Chatter, More Matter podcast we’ve looked to the international community for some guidance on navigating new workplace laws here in Australia. 

If you have no idea what we’re talking about - we’re referring to the new ‘right to disconnect’ laws that have been floated here in Australia.  Laws that essentially give workers the right to not monitor or answer work emails and text messages, all those sorts of channels outside of work hours. 

Which in theory sounds fantastic! In comms-specific practice, it poses a lot of questions surrounding how internal comms will need to change to fit the new laws, and what kind of activities we will need to undertake as comms pros to make it work.

Which is exactly what we've dived into in this episode... so let's get into it!
