Abstract: Abstract During Don Argus’ tenure as Chairman of BHP Billiton (1999–2010), he witnessed the most profound changes in our industrial relations (IR) system and our industrial relationships that BHP had ever experienced. For the first time, we were able to engage directly with our employees and to work with them to make our workplaces as productive and rewarding as they could be. We were able to communicate with our employees directly, rather than through their representatives or unions or industrial tribunals. For their part, employees were able to gain a sense of alignment with the company’s direction and to share in the company’s successes.
