We act to resolve issues quickly and fairly for your business, whether it be performance related, conflict resolution, mediation, disputes, personal grievances, or change management and restructuring.
EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS
Managing performance and employee issues is often the most stressful and difficult element of employing staff. We specialise in supporting businesses to resolve issues quickly. We partner with employment specialists that have up to date case law knowledge. We can support you with implementing frameworks to manage performance and guide you to make the right steps that will protect your business with the best commercial outcomes.
The most common sentence we hear business owners say is:
“I know I need some HR help but I’m not sure where to start”
OR
“I’ve got a problem and I don’t know how to deal with it – please help!”
Human Resources Advice
Keeping things simple, we act as the main HR resource and partner for your business, so your employees have the support and guidance they need. This will be tailored specifically to your business, it may manifest in a regular onsite presence, phone or email support to the business for any ad-hoc questions, or a combination of the two.
Change can be hard, let us help you. We offer businesses support through restructures, redundancies, strategy and culture transformation.
