In Part 2 of our latest episode of Inside IR, industrial relations partner Rohan Doyle and Melbourne Business School Professor Jennifer Overbeck continue their discussion on the evolving enterprise bargaining landscape, exploring how employers, unions and employees can move beyond short-term, power-based bargaining and invest in negotiation processes that create sustainable value for all parties.

They discuss practical approaches to navigating BATNAs, managing the threat of industrial action, building trust throughout the bargaining process, and communicating effectively with employees during negotiations.
