- changes in working from home or other flexible work arrangements
- the impact on mental health and wellbeing, including burnout and exhaustion
- the trend of ‘quiet quitting’ and attitudes towards work-life balance
- the impact on attitudes towards Health and Safety at work.
2. The role that tikanga can play in the development of employment policy and practice and/or employment dispute resolution processes.
