Dr Nadia Stojanova, a Victorian barrister, recently completed a
doctorate in law reform and regulatory changes to address workplace
bullying. Here, she details the precursor factors to such
misconduct in the workplace, the “patchwork” system of laws
governing this space, and what workplaces can and must do to stamp
out bullying.
In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
speaks with barrister at the Victorian Bar, Dr Nadia Stojanova,
about her personal and professional passion for employment and
industrial relations matters and how she got into such work, how
she navigates said matters, why she undertook a doctorate in this
space, and the state of affairs nationwide regarding workplace
bullying.
Stojanova also reflects on whether the legislative and regulatory
frameworks are not keeping pace with evolving workplace
environments, the “patchwork” of laws, what needs to be urgently
addressed, the precursor factors to bullying in the workplace, the
various elements of the risk management-based workplace design her
thesis promotes, whether such a design should be led by legislators
and regulators or by businesses, and her optimism that Australian
workplaces can adopt her strategy for addressing such
misconduct.
