## Resource

In this special episode of The Legal Brief, produced in partnership with Kingston Reid, we unpack the recent changes to the bargaining landscape, lessons learnt for employers, and what will constitute best practice in the ever-changing industrial relations environment in 2026. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Kingston Reid partner Brad Popple about his background as a trade union official and why he loves the "problem-solving" aspect of industrial relations. With that lens, Brad talks through the extent of changes in enterprise bargaining over the last few years and their implications. Against this background, HR professionals must now look differently at the bargaining equation, taking into account recent case studies from the courts as well as broader environmental factors driving change. Brad also anticipates trends in bargaining on the horizon, offering best practice guidance for employers and HR functions in 2026 and beyond. To learn more about Kingston Reid, click here .
