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!”
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.
Employment relations advice is the practical support you need to manage workplace issues fairly, quickly, and in line with New Zealand requirements. This can include: performance issues, conflict resolution, mediation, disputes, personal grievances, collective bargaining, union engagement, support through change management or restructuring, and day-to-day operational queries around employment law and best practice.
Yes. We’ll help you stabilise the situation quickly, get the facts clear, and map out the right process and next steps. We provide informed options for you to decide the best approach, and what support you need from us.
You’ll know what to say, what to document, and how to keep risk low while treating people properly.
Support can be shaped around what you need: onsite presence, phone or email advice for ad-hoc questions, or a mix of both. We can be as actively involved and visible as you wish – facilitating meetings and end-to-end processes, or we can set you up with best practice documentation in the background for you to manage with confidence.
The intent is to be your trusted HR partner so you can move quickly and confidently when issues arise. For our ongoing retained clients your HR team will support with same-day responses if issues arise.
