Navigating the complexities of HR can be challenging. WorkWise Employment provides strategic HR/IR consulting services to assist your organisation with specific projects, including workplace investigations and Fair Work representation. Whether you require assistance with a one-off project (e.g., drafting a new employee handbook, conducting a workplace investigation) or prefer ongoing retainer-based support for continuous HR guidance, we can tailor our services to fit your organisation's needs.
Our HR/IR Consulting expertise encompasses:
- Industrial Relations Expertise: Offering specialist advice on enterprise bargaining, award interpretation, union engagement, industrial disputes, and collective agreements, ensuring compliance and harmonious workplace relations.
- Complex Employee Relations Management: Supporting you through challenging employee issues, including disciplinary actions (up to and including termination of employment), grievances, performance management, and workplace investigations, ensuring procedural fairness and legal compliance.
- Change Management Support: Guiding your organisation through periods of significant change, such as restructures, to ensure smooth transitions and minimise disruption.
- Compliance & Risk Mitigation: Proactive advice to ensure adherence to the Fair Work Act, Modern Awards, and other relevant Australian employment legislation, significantly reducing your exposure to legal risks and disputes.
- Policy & Framework Development: Assisting in the creation and refinement of robust HR policies, procedures, and frameworks that support effective people management and foster a compliant workplace.
- Reundancy: Providing expert guidance and practical support to organisations undertaking redundancies due to operational requirements. Managing redundancies is a sensitive and complex process that requires meticulous planning, compassionate communication, and compliance with the relevant legislation to mitigate risks, maintain morale, and ensure procedural fairness is afforded to all affected employees.
- Fair Work Representation: Providing your organisation with expert guidance and support when navigating processes involving the Fair Work Commission (FWC) or other relevant tribunals in Australia. Facing claims such as unfair dismissal, general protections, or industrial disputes can be complex, time-consuming, and stressful.
