Industrial & Employment Relations
The People Associates team provides a comprehensive range of services to optimise workplace performance and minimise industrial disputes.
Our specialists assist organisations in managing Industrial relations, including optimising union-employer relationships, collective bargaining and facilitating joint consultative forums.
We can also help by implementing effective performance management systems, ensuring clear expectations, regular feedback, and appropriate performance improvement plans.
We conduct thorough and impartial investigations into disciplinary and misconduct matters, providing clear and legally sound outcomes. Our team also supports organisations in managing absenteeism and long-term ACC claims, working closely with employees and relevant stakeholders to facilitate timely and appropriate return-to-work strategies or medical incapacity processes.
We are experts in handling complex complaints and investigations, ensuring a fair and equitable process for all parties involved.
By understanding the intricacies of employment law and industry best practices, we empower organisations to navigate challenging employment relations issues and achieve sustainable business success.
In every situation we assess the employer’s risks, costs, timeframes, and values to determine the right solution for the business. We always seek pragmatic outcomes.
