We’re there when you need us: no more, no less

A client approached us after receiving a customer complaint against one of their long-standing employees.

The client didn’t know how to approach the issue and they asked us to conduct an investigation After assessing the situation, we identified that rather than taking disciplinary action, the issue could be solved by getting both the customer and the staff member into the same room, and having an intermediary session

After ensuring both parties’ grievances had been heard, both the customer and the staff member came away feeling satisfied that their perspectives had been addressed The client was also impressed with how the problem was addressed quickly, professionally and with minimal fuss

We believe in HR your way.

There when you need us: no more, no less. 2022 has seen the introduction of two new public holidays in New Zealand – the annual Matariki (Maori New Year) observance, and the one-off Memorial Day for Queen Elizabeth II on 25 September The administration of public holiday entitlements for employees raises a lot of queries for employers as they negotiate various scenarios that may apply to their organisation Here are the key things you need to know about administering public holidays for your employees

How does the new protection framework impact the workplace, and how do I navigate this for my business? The Delta variant of COVID-19 has changed our world, perhaps more than the original COVID-19 strain As New Zealand workplaces open up under the new traffic light system, how can we transition back to some form of normal?

“Chris spent a week with me helping assess my new team based on our purpose and goals.  We were able to make a concrete plan for reorganizing the team and finding the best fit for team members.  Chris is great to work with and I really appreciated his independent advice into this process.”

- Roger Osbaldiston, Global Director, LeaderImpact.

“Chris really epitomises what HR is meant to be about: Commercially astute, solution focussed, with a heart for people and getting the best out of them. Chris is really focussed on finding the right people strategies and solutions for the business, and he understands that, led and managed well, our people are our most significant competitive advantage.”

- Annamarie Jamieson, People and Culture Director, Stuff
