The She'll Be Right Flawed System

For a young person who is an entrepreneur or the person who is a business owner one of the ways to better employ people and grow your business is to significantly reduce red tape, and too much paperwork.  In Australia the problem I see is a lack of flexibility and too much regulation of the labour market.  For a small business owner, they should be able to grow their business by means of investing more valuable time and energy into ways of making their business become more competitive and economically viable.  Furthermore employing a person or persons should not involve endless paperwork and satisfying unrealistic requirements.

To employ people less regulation and paperwork needed.

 What I think is needed in Australia is also a more flexible wage and enterprise bargaining agreements.  For instance, if a young person wants to work they should be able to work within a framework that allows them entry into the labour market.  Furthermore I see Australia's labour market as existing in the C19th.  The 9am to 5pm model does not suit everyone.  There is very little or no flexibility and for a person with a disability (ability) or challenges, entry to the labour market just seems impossible.  Not everyone can nor wants to work in a system that disallows flexibility and incentive.  If you want to get more people into employment then surely the answer is to make the workplace more flexible to begin with?

Unions seem to exist in the past in many ways.  Instead of seriously investigating a way of making workplaces for flexible and assisting with increasing productivity, more valuable time and energy is spent on criticizing political parties.  Belonging to a union should be to stand up for your rights to ensure a safe and fair workplace. Also more of a focus on staff development should be encouraged than just worrying primarily about your pay packet at the end of every pay cycle.  It is just frustrating not being able to better utilize intellectual capital and incentive.  

What do I suggest then?

From observation, promotion and incentive should be based on work performance.  If a person works hard in their job then why not encourage them based on merit to better improve?  Why  not allow for more recognition of ability and furthermore assist them to be better cohesive in the overall scheme of things?  Why not also encourage greater participation of persons with disabilities into the workplace by removing unnecessary over regulation, red tape and bureaucracy?  For a young person starting off in a business,why not allow them to build upon their foundation within their business by allowing for more competition and a means of growing to take on and employ more people?  A young person in a business should also be praised and encouraged to expand their business and obtain greater recognition from within the community?  

The taxation system also needs to be overhauled.  For low income earners, why can't the paying of tax simply exist by paying income tax rather than having the unnecessarily burden of having to satisfy the requirements of filling in a confusing tax reform at the end of the financial year?  Also for business owners can't the system be better simplified so that their is less stress and effort on this procedure and more energy invested into employing more people?   If you want to reduce the unemployment rate in Australia, then why not simply for labour market by creating a more flexible workplace environment?  Surely unions, managers and business owners can come to the bargaining table to simply laws and procedures to make workplaces more profitable to increase staff participation.  

For the young person starting out in business, every means possible should be provided to allow for greater productivity.  Also every means possible should be provided to allow for greater participation of people with disabilities into the workplace.  Flexible work hours need to be encouraged as well as environments that offer greater friendliness and worker participation.  By removing unnecessary red tape and over regulation, surely such opportunities are possible?  An overhaul of the enterprise bargaining system, awards and other means could surely overcome the flawed system in place already?  Only change will happen if people start to question the system that is already in place.  We need to focus on people who want to make a contribution and encourage those who want to improve performance and greater workplace productivity.  What do you think of Prime Minister John Key's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp7QsQSGz-4  Is New Zealand soon going to outdo Australia with its economy and rising dollar?  Do you also think that John Key is a better Prime Minister?
