The Save Group

🚩 Ever notice the same few people speaking in every meeting while everyone else stays quiet? 🚩

Silence in meetings doesn’t always mean agreement. Sometimes, it signals deeper workplace issues.

Here are 4 common reasons employees don’t speak up:
▪ Fear of judgment
▪ Lack of psychological safety
▪ Feeling their opinions won’t matter
▪ Previous negative experiences

When employees feel safe to contribute, businesses gain better ideas, stronger collaboration, and fewer hidden problems.

The question is: are your meetings encouraging conversation or discouraging it?

We’re proud sponsors of the B.I.T.E Conference 2026, and we’ll also be exhibiting on the day!

If you’re a business owner on the Mornington Peninsula, this is your conference for all things Business, Innovation, Technology and Efficiency.

What to expect:
- Hear from industry speakers
- Learn tools you can implement immediately
- Network with fellow business owners (minus the awkwardness)

From the first full pay period on or after 1 April 2026, important changes apply under the Health Professionals and Support Services Award 2020.

The updates impact Dental Assistants and Pathology Collectors, including:
• Minimum pay rates and classifications
• Weekend and overtime penalties
• Shift work definitions
• Payroll and rostering requirements

For employers, now is the time to review classifications, systems, and pay processes before the changes take effect.

Award interpretation mistakes can lead to costly underpayments and compliance risks, especially in busy healthcare environments.

We can assist with a Modern Award Audit and Pay Rate Review to help ensure your business stays compliant.
