Laura Grierson

Employers and employees have a fascinating work relationship. Workplace stories and topics are always of interest to the media because their listeners/viewers/readers are generally either an employer or an employee. Our guest on the Experts Podcast this week is Executive Search specialist Laura Grierson from Acacia. She joins Nic to discuss the newly passed law in Australia, 'the right to disconnect'. Laura wrote an excellent Opinion Editorial published in The West Australian recently, so we wanted to chat to her about her views on this legislation, and what it means for both employees and employers. Laura is uniquely positioned in executive recruitment and the resource sector. She tells us about her motivation to engage the media and walks us through her media experience. It's a fantastic approach which raises the morale of her team, has seen her stand out from others in her industry, as well as being a great talking point with new business. So much return for what can simply be described as putting your expertise and opinion out there. A wonderful chat for all business leaders to understand some reasons why you might put yourself forward to engage the media on behalf of your brand, your industry and maybe even more importantly, for your staff.
