About Workshop #36: Developing a happy, diverse, inclusive, flexible, high-performance workplace and complying with the law in the process
Join Will Taylor, Jessie Murphy Allen, and Daniella Carling from Finlaysons for a practical session on how wine businesses can build productive, inclusive, and legally compliant workplaces.
Together, they bring decades of experience advising wine businesses of all sizes — from family vineyards to global brands — on employment law, workplace culture, and risk management. In this session, they’ll explore what it takes to create a resilient, high-performing workplace in today’s evolving ESG and legal landscape.
What You’ll Learn
This 90-minute workshop will provide practical, sector-specific guidance on:
- Creating a culture of respect, psychological safety, and inclusion
- Addressing bullying, discrimination, and performance concerns effectively
- Understanding key legal obligations – including flexible working, performance management, and the right to disconnect
- Supporting international and seasonal workers in a way that benefits your people and your business
Whether you’re managing a small team or leading a national operation, this session will equip you with the tools to balance legal compliance with a strong workplace culture.
Why It Matters
The wine sector is changing — with more diverse workforces, shifting expectations around wellbeing and flexibility, and increased regulatory pressure. This workshop will help you meet those challenges head-on, with clear, actionable insights grounded in real industry experience.
