CALL FOR A FOUR DAY WORKING WEEK
TRADEMUTT, Australia’s leading social enterprise workwear company, has shifted its five-day work schedule to four days to promote better work-life balance.
The change in schedule aims to show that reducing working hours per week can still maintain the required output and increase productivity, lessening stress and increasing profitability.
TradeMutt's founders, Daniel Allen and Edward Ross, encourage business owners across Australia to implement a four-day workweek and discuss with their staff how they can support this change.

SOCIAL CASINOS ARE HIGHLY RANKED
THE Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has released a report on social casinos, offering insights into consumer behavior and industry trends in this rapidly growing market.
Social casinos offer online casino-style games without real money wagering, but users can make in-game purchases. Australia ranked in the top five markets by consumer spend in H1 2022, with global revenue expected to grow by 5% per annum until 2025.
Research shows that social casino game players tend to be older, with slots being the most popular game.

GOVERNMENT ACTS TO FIX CEMETERIES
THE NSW Government started addressing the challenges around cemeteries and crematoria policy inherited from the previous government.
As a first step, the Minister for Lands and Property Steve Kamper announced a nationwide search to conduct an open recruitment process for a shared Administrator for four of Sydney’s Crown cemetery operators, collectively known as OneCrown.
The future of these four cemetery operators – Northern Metropolitan Cemeteries, Rookwood General Cemeteries, Rookwood Necropolis and Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries – has been in limbo for years due to the failure of the former government to decide their future.
Executive recruitment firm Meritos will undertake the open recruitment process for the Administrator.
“We’re looking for someone with commercial acumen and solid experience in people leadership, governance, financial and risk management to help us take the sector forward,” Mr Kamper said.
“In a return to more normal government practices, the role will be advertised nationally so the market can be properly tested and the best available candidate identified. The current administrator has been invited to apply.”
“For two years this process has been marred by procrastination and infighting, while the supply of available grave sites dwindled to alarming levels.”
