Introduction

Listen to a Preview


Date: 01/05/2023

With a federal budget just around the corner, we begin the program with a preview from our resident economist, Professor Neville Norman. He asks businesses to take heed of four major things when it’s delivered by Treasurer Jim Chalmers later this month.

Also this month, our cover story examines the success behind Belinda Eden’s Troop Events, which provides staff for hospitality and events in the region around Ballarat. Sandra Blake has free help for businesses struggling with debt via the Small Business Debt Helpline.

Danny Lessem of ELMO Software says the job market is starting to tighten. The new rules around flexible work arrangements also bring new obligations for business owners, according to Mazars’ Cheryl-Anne Laird. There are new rules, too, concerning what you can include in a job ad, says Matthew Addison of COSBOA.

Roy Osing returns with his thoughts on business theories that don’t reflect business reality. We have the remarkable story of Melo Calarco whose resilience in the face of hairy travel adventures translate into business lessons.

And we finish the program with Les Watson, aka the Time Lord, on delegating for better productivity.
