CA ANZ’s 2025 Members Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Survey Report identified ageism as the most common form of discrimination in the accounting profession. Nearly one in five respondents (18%) reported observing age-related negative behaviour or discrimination at work in the past five years, while 12% experienced it firsthand.

“Ageism is insidious and often overlooked as a form of discrimination prevalent in the workplace and in employment practices,” says Dr Catherine Rickwood, a specialist in ageing, age diversity and workplace transformation.

There’s nothing new about dynamic pricing. Beachside ice-cream shops often increase prices over summer. Airfares during school holidays are traditionally eye-watering. And Tuesday nights have long been cheaper at the cinema, for good reason.

So, what if accountants charged more during the months around end of financial year, when their services are in far greater demand?

If you are not making the consumer completely aware of the logic and purpose of the pricing, the process will probably backfire, says Professor Nitika Garg, associate dean (accreditation, rankings and enhancement) at UNSW Business School.

“If you’re not disclosing to the consumer that this is actually happening, it will likely be considered unethical,” she says.

Here, we examine how dynamic pricing currently impacts consumers and what it may look like in the future: https://ow.ly/toQ150XAqQi

If you’ve watched The Office, you’ve probably laughed at Michael Scott’s or David Brent’s cringeworthy but oddly endearing attempts to smooth over workplace conflict. However, what’s funny on TV can feel far less amusing in real life, where clashing personalities, mismatched priorities and minor misunderstandings can quickly escalate, disrupting teams and draining productivity.

Here’s how to handle workplace conflict before it takes over your workday: https://ow.ly/pOaJ50XwAEv

What makes an employer truly great? Is it the benefits, the culture, the casual Fridays or something more intangible? While it differs from person to person, what is clear is that while competitive salaries and benefits are important, they are no longer the sole reason many candidates consider a job offer.

So, what do the best employers have in common? We take a closer look: https://ow.ly/A0au50XwGWM

In 2022, 4 Day Week Global started a pilot program trialling a four-day work week in the UK. It involved 61 companies, nearly 3000 employees, ran for six months and was the biggest field trial to date of the four-day work week idea.

You might have thought that trying to do five days’ work in four would have frazzled employees. The opposite happened. Employees benefited across a wide range of dimensions: 39% were less stressed and 71% had reduced levels of burnout – but were employers sold?
